Thirty Classic Boat Designs: The Best of the Good Boats

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 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 fro dreamers - unless, like others, you want to build a boat to one of these classic designs and put to sea.
