- Used Book in Good Condition
A guided tour of the world's best sailboats with an entertaining expert at your side.
In the classic format of the first volume, with magnificent color photographs and black-and-white illustrations, the even more spectacular Volume 2 celebrates the giant leaps in technology and design of the last decade and a half. Ferenc MÃ¡tÃ© analyzes designs and construction while revealing the secrets of the world's top twenty builders, making this book invaluable for any boat buyer and would-be sailor. It includes dozens of new boats by the perennial best buildersâ€•Hinckley, Alden, Baltic, and Swanâ€•plus all the boats of ten new builders, the likes of J-Boats, Oyster, Valiant, and Sabre, who have, over the years, consistently shown the highest quality and most creative innovation. MÃ¡tÃ© visited each of the boatyardsâ€•in Europe, Canada, and the United Statesâ€•to document his scrupulous firsthand survey. His color photographs are benchmarks in nautical publishing, and his writing is thoughtful, engagingly direct, and always entertaining.
