A Maritime history of world famouse yachts and their crew, by John
Jefferies.
One of many testimonials:

Keith Beken, FRPS. Renowned maritime and marine photographer:
"This is a book that every yachtsman, and in fact everyone, will want to
have on their bookshelves, especially when their yachts are stored away for
the winter. Every page holds its memories, most certainly for myself, being
fortunate to have lived through this era of classical schooners, great
rigged yachts and, of course, the J. class.
Being able to photograph all these great yachts, and meeting their owners
and crews over a period of 60 years has been a lifetime's privilege and
pleasure. This book by John Jefferies will be a classic."
