Product Description
"The most beautiful sailing books ever published."—Yacht Magazine
ith more than 100,000 copies in print, these titles have become the standard reference for sailors and dreamers alike. The nearly 1,000 color photographs by the world's best marine photographers, accompanied by Ferenc Mate's consistently insightful, engaging, and analytic commentary, create the ultimate combination of beauty and practicality. Mate visited firsthand the leading boat builders in the world from Finland to California, surveying and evaluating the best boats built in the last twenty years. From Hinckley, Alden, Baltic, and Swan to new builders such as J-Boats, Oyster, Valiant, and Sabre, these have, over the years, consistently shown the highest quality and most creative innovation. Thoughtful and entertaining, the text is packed with technical information on design and construction, while the magnificent photographs celebrate the beauty of sailboats and fine craftsmanship. "A complete boat show between covers."—John Rousmaniere, author of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship. 535 color photographs and 218 black-and-white illustrations.
