I have had this book for years, and I review it often. I have owned one of the book's feature boats, a fibre schooner. Certainly, if you are interested in stainless steel, cherry fibre veneers and shiny white fiberglass, this is not a book for you. However, if you still pursue the romance of sailboats and classic design, this is a great source. These boats show what could be constructed when cost was not the primary concern. I recommend it highly.

This book is out of date for today's interiors. It isn't worth the money to buy it and then pay to return it!

I started out with a mean review of this book, but then I started to feel guilty, so will keep it simple. This is clearly a 1970's style production, and the choice of images, image quality, etc. reflect it. If that was your time, and you like that sort of thing, by all means go for it. If your looking for well shot images of exceptional yacht interiors or ideas for a restoration project (like me) then keep looking or get if from a library very first to decide if its worth owning. As someone who is willing to look at pictures of almost anything nautical, I found it pretty disappointing - mostly because it is so out of date and unprofessional by modern standards. There are a few classic yacht images worth seeing, but much of it is run-of-the-mill boat interiors of the day. I regret being so harsh because I'm sure a lot of work went into this in its day, but in my opinion, it is time to let go.

While I do not own a copy personally, I have repeatedly borrowed this book from the local library. Now someone else has permanently "borrowed" it, and I will need to buy a copy! I have found it to unparalleled in providing information and inspiration in my very first years as a liveaboard aboard a 30' sailboat. While I could never hope to own a boat like most of the ones shown in this book, the photos and text take me right inside the boats and lives of their owners, helping me find my own comfort level and validating my own desires and needs below decks. A friend to me for years, I cannot say enough about it.
