Yacht Style |
Don't let the more than 500 stunning, full-color photos fool you--this book is not just another ``coffee-table'' tome of pretty boats, but a thought-provoking treatise on what constitutes good design in yachts, whether you're talking pocket cruiser or megayacht. You'll find both classic and innovative solutions to problems experienced by every boatowner: questions of light, space, color, materials, access, and stowage. Sidebar interviews with leading boat and interior designers, brokers, and surveyors and photo essays of featured boats add to this book's appeal.
"An exciting book. . .both beautiful and useful."--WoodenBoat
"Spur's book sparkles like a classic, well-appointed yacht in a marina full of indistinguisable production boats. . .This book reminds us of why we are all hopelessly addicted to this crazy passion called yachting."--Sailing
". . .a brilliant, beautiful book. . .an excellent volume that offers a condensed course in the aesthetics of style, no matter whether your tastes run to megayachts, muscleboats, pocket cruisers, vintage-sailing craft, or funky commercial-to-pleasure conversions."--Professional Boatbuilder
