Customer Ratings:

Over the years, Benjamin Mendlowitz has compiled a photo archive of thousands of wooden boats from which he has created this photographic guide to a wide variety of sailing vessels. Virtually all the major designers are represented, from John Alden's lovely gaff-rigged schooner Voyager and the innovative Sparkman & Stephens yawl Dorade, to the classic Herreshoff New York 30 sloop Amorita, the lovely Fife ketch Belle Aventure, and many more. Maynard Bray provides particulars and informative notes on the subtle variations within the six basic sailing rigs. Sailors will want this book for pleasure as well as for identifications. A feast for the eye and the imagination, this is a book for anyone, young or old, interested in wooden boats - those who admire them, sail them, or may have just discovered them.

Summary: the guide to wooden boats
Comment: "the guide to wooden boats" is a great little book-- it sets out by photographic example to show the novice sailor or the experienced yachtsman-the differences between the various types of sailing yachts-- ben has taken some the finest photographs of wooden sailboats- his photos are simple and elegant--shot with either early morning or late afternoon light --and never retouched in the lab--ben's photos show us the living legends of yachting--from around the world--this book will also settle the ageless arguments about the differences between yawls and ketches--donald tofias
