Excerpt from Yachts and Yacht Building: Being a Treatise on the Construction of Yachts The great want of scientific principle in the construction of yachts must be evident to everyone who has given the subject any con sideration and it is on account Of this want that so few yachts are built which answer the expectations Of the builder or owner. The deficiency may be traced to two principal causes, first to the imper feet knowledge of the theory Of Naval Architecture, which the generality Of our yacht builders possess, and secondly to the very Slight inducement for any improvement given by the yacht clubs. Although the builders are undoubtedly men of great experience, still the very nature Of their employment prevents that careful study of the scientific part Of their business which can alone produce a competent naval architect; in fact, Naval Architecture is with them Of secondary importance, instead of demanding the greater share Of their attention. In other constructive arts there are two distinct branches, the architect, to whom is entrusted the design, and the builder, whose business it is to carry out the design, and whenever these separate branches of a trade have been united mediocrity has invariably resulted, because the time and attention requisite to produce proficiency in either branch prevents more than a partial knowledge Of both.
