Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would have given this book 5 stars if not for the barely acceptable print quality. This book displays some of William Gardens finest published design work (IMHO) , so I was expecting that this revised and expanded edition would equal its predecessor (Yacht Designs) in print quality. If you like to study his drawings in detail like I do, you will know what I mean. Oh well, at least I now have a copy, and can throw away my photocopies from the old Yacht Designs library book. The first book is still worth seeking out, the printing was magnificent, as is Yacht Designs 2.

Dozens of detailed drawings plus delightful descriptions and reminiscences of the boats and the people who loved them, the text accompanying each design centers on the background of each boat rather than on a technical study. Each essay is as different as the boat it describes, sometimes explaining a detail of the building process, the origins of a design, the individuals involved, or the evolution of a yacht type.
