Best of Uffa FoxUffa Fox is a legendary name in the annals of yachting. Born in 1898, he was for four decades (1930's-1960's) sailing mentor to England's royalty; designer and builder of the first true planing sailing dinghies; designer of innovative and graceful yachts; draftsman without equal; and writer of charm wit and wisdom. In the 1930s, in five books, he reviewed the best yacht designs of his day--boats that are now classics, some of them still sailing. Best of Uffa is a selection from those five volumes, 50 sailing yachts whose names--Vamarie, Barnswallow, Bluenose, Nina, Brilliant, Dorade, Stormy Weather, Whirlwind, Thetis--and designers--Olin Stephens, Starling Burgess, William Fife, Philip Rhodes, Albert Strange, Laurent Giles, L. Francis Herreshoff, and Uffa himself--are among the very greatest in yachting history. Best of Uffa was first published in 1978 and distributed in North America by IM, but it has been out of print at least a dozen years. A reissue now has the opportunity to find a whole new audience as well as its old one.
