From 1934 to 1938 Uffa wrote five books reflecting the best yacht designs of those years. He did hundreds of drawings to illustrate them: hull lines, sail plans, accommodation plans and construction drawings. All five of these magnificent books are now out of print and have become collectors' items, but here again is the chance for boat lovers of all ages to enjoy fifty designs and writings selected from these classic volumes, complete with detailed drawings, photographs and comment.
