Each book offered a different view and different patterns. Pleasurable reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Excellent...Like a Seasoned Mariner In Your Pocket. *by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2011* First off let me say, I've had this awhile, so I've had time to thoroughly read it, use it and enjoy it. I first had Mr. Hervey Garrett-Smith's other book the Marlinspike Sailor which is larger but thinner and has some similar things, and some different things, so it really it a good idea to get both. I wrote a review on the Marlinspike Sailor and then realized I had not told about my experience with this one (though I doubt I can outdo some of the highest rated reviews.)Well this book, though chock full of great illustrations, has a lot of text too. Whereas Marlinspike Sailor is more like individual specific projects, this book is like that but in overall context sometimes and he will put in where he thinks something fits. It is a good read and very insightful. Whimsical yet practical writing, a great and interesting mix that works, because sailing and marlinspike craft are pratical and fun.Before long you'll be searching for projects to tie knots on, and doing the sailors' crafts from the book, collecting the tools outlined in the first part, if you don't have them yet. Since reading his books I have gotten piecemeal a lot. I started with practical knots, then decorative, then more marlinspike focused craft. Before long I had sail needles (type he mentions in book which are excellent), canvas, a left-handed sewing palm, and I've made several ditty bags out of the books to hold the supplies or give away to family and friends. I've made rope ladders, swings, hammocks, nets, rope boat fenders. The things you can make from rope are amazing and you'll find very entertaining if you are at all into it.This one has a lot more stuff specific to sailing like reefing sails, towing boats, and some that apply to sailing and life on land, but there is no shortage of things that are not usual if you do not own a sailboat of yore. From sennits to coachwhipping and various braids and chains, to proper knots and their uses, and the rich descriptions and illustrations, this book is always worth it.I'm preparing and learning from books all the time like this what I don't have access to regularly which is a seasoned mariner, but he did and was and can pass it on to you through this book. It's about like having one in your back pocket--Or ditty bag! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Book has great information *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023* Canvas ,rope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/91017128-the-arts-of-the-sailor-illustrated-edition-paperback-june-4](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/91017128-the-arts-of-the-sailor-illustrated-edition-paperback-june-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
