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.
