Description: "A sailor's love of the high seas need not be limited by time or money. Now, anybody can enjoy sailing -- all it takes is some paper and your own immagination! Paper Yachts lets you enjoy big-boat racing on a small scale. Create miniature imitations of the most competitive yachts on the planet, from the larger International America's Cup Class to the small and nimble Extreme 40s. Captain your own vessel with 16 water-resistant templates that allow you to set sail in the tub, pool, stream, or ocean. Detailed instructions and illustrations help you fold and launch each sailboat, and course suggestions set you up for serious match racing or a mixed class regatta. Loaded with gorgeous photos and nautical information, Paper Yachts is more than origami, it's the excitement of sailing. So weigh anchor, cast off, and be an admiral of the sea for a day"--P.
