| Abstract |
This comprehensive reference book is the ultimate guide to the rich variety of seafaring vessels, from rafts to racing yachts, sloops to skiffs. With more than 750 alphabetically arranged entries, over 600 beautifully meticulous line-drawings, a full glossary of nautical terms, a bibliography and an index, this is the most impressive and the most complete guide to everything that floats. Written in Graham Blackburn's wonderfully idiosyncratic style and full of fascinating cross-references, this is the perfect gift for the nautical enthusiast. |
