Of Yachts & Men

By William Atkin, originally published in 1949 An account of many happy years of building, designing and living with small boats; with plans and illustrations of some of these boats and the circumstances under which they were conceived. "Whether you read purely for pleasure, or whether you want to feel, when the last page is turned, that you’ve been chatting informally with one who freely passes along nuggets of nautical lore from an infinite store, you can’t afford to be without this book." --Motor Boating Magazine "'Of Yachts and Men' is crowded with a vast store of anecdote, remembrance and good boat designs. Atkin's book is warm and friendly, spiced with good photographs and beautiful line drawings." --The Maine Coast Fisherman "The book is so full of human interest that it leaves the reader wanting to know more about the author." --Rudder Magazine "Whether you own a rowboat or a yacht, you are bound to enjoy this book. It contains some of the grandest stories about yachting yet floated throughout the nation." --Boston Herald Softcover, 8½"x11", 160 pages. ISBN: 9-781888-671971
