Beken of Cowes : sailing thoroughbreds

This book presents major international sailing craft and ocean-going racers of the 20th century. The grace of the classic vessels combines with the design of the Grand Prix elite yachts, and the speed of the winners of the America's Cup. The photographs are arranged in three categories: Spirit of Tradition, Cruiser-Racers and Grand-Prix elite. A description of each yacht provides information as to design, ownership and racing success.
