CLASSIC SAIL

Joe Gribbins can gather together a book that is better than anyone else's; photos he selects are beautiful and they are informative: they show you what you want to see if you are planning or designing or shopping for a boat. He treats us to spectacular contemporary boats, including those of ancient design (and gives us a chapters on the ancients and later ancestors of yachts of today). Gribbins, erstwhile editor of Nautical Quarterly, does not disappoint.

Why is BOAT HOUSE, a specialist in powerboats--especially antique powerboats--interested in a book about sail? Two reasons: one, BOAT HOUSE books are not the "cookie-cutter" books seen everywhere, they are, rather, essential books for the designer and builder, full of examples of well-executed work. And, two, Gribbin's other title THE WOODEN BOAT has been such a good seller! You cannot beat the price.
