Reward for Volume I: "Possibly probably the most stunning sailing book ever published."-Yachting magazine

404 colour photographs; 212 illustrations.

After loving quantity I, I needed to purchase quantity II while I had the chance. No, I have never completed volume I as of but, although the ebook(s) are full of spot-on correct information. Additionally will serve nicely for a primary time sailor who desires a sailboat with sleek lines, sails nicely, and can convey a good return on investment.

I purchased this as a gift for somebody who loves sailboats. He has raced them previously and has an excellent appreciation for the traditionally properly made boats. He loves this e-book and located some of his favourite sailboats inside with slightly history behind them.

Glorious e-book - pictures are detailed and crisp, and the author did extensive research on every boat builder in the survey. I hope there is a volume 3!
