Boat class reference library

Short, sourced profiles for the boat classes mentioned in Sail Commons editions, crew size, length, rig, and who typically sails each one. Each profile is short and sourced: it lists the crew, size and rig, then the class's history, how the boat is built and how it sails, and how it is raced. They run from the two-person dinghies many youth and college programs use, through the trapeze boats that lead toward Olympic skiffs, to the foiling classes now used at the Olympics. Every profile names its sources and the date I last checked it.
