Compton, Nic,

The great classic yacht revival / Nic Compton with photograhy by the author ; foreword by Olin Stephens. - 192 pages : color illustrations ; 30 cm.

Includes index.

The Great Classic Yacht Revival traces the traditional yacht movement, from its peak in the 1930s to its eclipse in the 1960s and how, since then, it has risen from the backwaters of boating to become the most stylish worldwide phenomenon. Traditional yachts feature unparalleled levels of craftsmanship and elegant design and permit a much more intimate connection to navigation and sailing than their modern descendants.
