The World's Best Sailboats

Volume1

A survey and evaluation of the best sailboats being built today: Aldens, Baltics, Hinckleys, Swans, Shannons, plus fourteen others.

This is the first nautical book which combines beauty (400 color photos by the world's leading marine photographers) and practicality. Mr. Mate visited the world's best boat builders from Finland to Italy, from Main to California, and in his new book evaluates and describes the sailboats of the nineteen best yards. The text is full of technical information on design and construction of available boats, while the magnificent color photos celebrate the beauty of sailboats and fine craftsmanship. His writing, as always, is both informative and entertaining.
