Book description: London United Kingdom: Conway Maritime Press, 2005 160 pages index prof ill colour illustrations - ince the seventeenth century, artists everywhere have been fascinated by yachts. Whether drawn to the vigour of ocean racing or the quiet nostalgia of cruising, they have found the yacht to be a rich and relentless artistic source.
