Ferenc Máté analyzes designs and construction while revealing the secrets of the world's top twenty builders, making this book invaluable for any boat buyer and would-be sailor. Praise for Volume I: "Possibly the most beautiful sailing book ever published."Yachting magazine 404 color photographs; 212 illustrations. Máté visited each of the boatyardsin Europe, Canada, and the United Statesto document his scrupulous firsthand survey. His color photographs are benchmarks in nautical publi
The Classic Coffee Table Book on Sailboats I bought the first volume a long time ago and I love it. Volume 2 is even better with beautiful color photography. A negative for me is that both volumes feature boats that are generally much more expensive than the vast majority of sailors can afford, particularly when new. In both volumes the text is informative and well written. My Volume 2 was published in 2003. Some of the makers of these top-end sailboats have gone out of business. The designs are classic but the state of the art in sailboat design and construction has evolved in the years since Mate gathered his material. "The World's Best Sailboats", Volumes 1 and . Great copy. Good copy as new.. "rather than focusing on sailboats as the beautiful art objects they are" according to danfus. The book contains a lot of really lovely pictures. I only wish the book had just a little more about sailing, rather than focusing on sailboats as the beautiful art objects they are. Still, a great book for ogling sailboats I couldn't possibly afford.
