"The 40-Knot Sailboat" is for boat designers or sailing enthusiasts looking to maximize their sailing speeds and improve handling.

"The 40-Knot Sailboat" is divided into three parts: Part one explains the history of the sailboat's problems. Part two recounts developments relating to the Aerohydrofoil. Part three focuses on the technical aspects of Smith's innovative designs, including both non-technical and technical (which include mathematical formulas) aspects.
