What reading level is Fore And Aft: the Story of the Fore & Aft Rig From the Earliest Times to the ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The staysail is also very big, and the ^ib likewise. The bowsprit as usual is steeved at a considerable an^le. The mast has its shrouds and lee-runners, and at Uie end of the bow- sprit there is the customary Union Jack. It is possible and even probable that some of these yachts set a water- sail below the bowsprit. But the saUs are very baggy, and possessed nothing like the efficiency which our modern cut affords. Each yacht flies a large ensign at his stem, but the admiral flies a large Union... Jack at his masthead, charged with a gold harp and crown on a green field in the centre of the flag. Other yachts, instead of this distinction, fly streamers or pen- nants from the masthead. The hulls are of the Dutch- like, bluff*-bowed tjrpe of which we have already spoken.
Digitized by Google THE FORE-AND-AFT RIG 178 and the sheer of the hulls rises up from the bows towards the stem, but the poops have been very con- siderably lowered by this tune. The spritsail is used no longer in these vessels, but a gaff and boom.
