Synopsis

There are many boats that are raced that have become "classics". Despite the early origins of their design, they have found an everlasting niche because of their suitability to local waters or the particular skills involved in making them perform. Such boats are sought after, not only as investment, but because they are beautiful and endearing to those who love the sea and boats. The "Star" is still an Olympic class despite its 60 years of age. The X boats, which originated in Victorian times still commands the largest fleet in Cowes week. Every country has its gems and this book gathers the most revered, giving their history, design and illustrates them with photographs.
