Product Description
Synopsis
Three generations of the Beken family of Cowes have produced an archive in the field of nautical photography. This is the third volume taken from their collection. The book presents, in 135 four-colour images, major international sailing craft and ocean-going racers of the 20th century. The grace of the classic vessels combines with the design of the Grand Prix Elite yachts, and the speed of the winners of the America's Cup. This is a comprehensive portrait of the various types of craft that make up modern competitive yachting.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book - a must have for any armchair sailor!, 30 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Beken photography is always breathtaking - and the contents of this book are no exception! A large, beautiful, glossy hardback is a must for any one with a love of the sea, wether an avid yachting sailor or an armchir dreamer! The photos are spectacular, displaying a range of boats that one could only wish to ever see, let alone sail for real. The only problem with giving this book to anyone you know is that you may not get any cnversation from them until they have absorbed the many breathtaking photos, read all the commentries and safely landed back in reality!
