From the Publisher
"On the grounds that a treat shared is a treat enriched, the photographs in this book should be devoured by lovers of yachts and yachting two-at-a-time for nudgings, whoops, hoots and huzzas. This, the second edition of the work, will likely glue them enraptured to the nearest coffee table."—Nautical Magazine "A book to thrill, from the safety of the armchair rather than the bosun's chair!"—The Lifeboat
