    Apologies in advance for not figuring this out via forum searching...but:
    I have 6 PDF files regarding Masts, Rigging, and Sails ascribed to 'The Design of Sailing Yachts - Vol. 2' by Pierre Gutelle. I also have a hardbound print copy of 'The Design of Sailing Yachts ' by Pierre Gutelle, printed by International Marine Publishing Company in 1979.
    The extensive info on 'Masts, Rigging, and Sails ' is not included in my book. Can someone point me to a source for a printed 'Volume 2' with this info? I cannot find a reference to another (2nd ) book online. Thank you.

    Ah! Three volume French edition. Makes sense. I have a single volume book published by International Marine Press in English. I wonder if it's a translation of one of the French volumes, or an abridged version?

    I have this book also. Published 1979 in France, translated for the English version 1984. In the acknowledgements is a note that a further volume is in preparation.

    Not holding my breath for the 'further volume in preparation!' Pretty sure International Marine Publishing folded years ago....
