thirty classic boat designs

“Thirty classic boat designs” presents the best of the best, selected by Taylor from his earlier books, everyone an enduring classic within the reach of a small-scale builder. For each he has written an introduction reporting what new owners and, in many cases, new builders have to say. So let the fiberglass look-alikes continue their reign on showroom floors; these pages are ruled by a fleet of individualistic gems, from a 16-foot daysailer to a 61-foot schooner. They come from the drawing boards of, among others, N.G. and L.F. Herreshoff, Sam Crocker, Olin Stephens (names to conjure with). This is a great book for dreamers unless, like others, you want to build a boat to one of these classic designs and put to sea.
