Dixon Kemp’s famous “Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing” was first published in 1878. The general plan of that first edition was maintained in subsequent editions, but considerable new material was added to each edition reflecting the introduction of new designs, and the changing face of yachting during the final two decades of the 19th century.
