Alfred Mylne the First designed exciting, beautiful yachts, which have
won many races over the past 120 years - some are still collecting
prizes. They have also cruised far and wide. Many still traverse the
oceans, braving the blasting breeze with the confidence of their strong
construction. Each chapter of this book is about one of these famous
craft, or about a class of boats. The text reveals what is so special
about each design. With a fascinating set of illustrations from the
Mylne archives, each boat is accompanied by reproductions of Mylne's
original plans and drawings. This is the second book about Alfred Mylne
the First's very special designs, being a sequel to Ian Nicolson's
recent Alfred Mylne The Leading Yacht Designer: 1896-1920. Writing with
expertise and enthusiasm, the author has worked in the yacht industry
for seventy-one years, including twenty years with Alfred Mylne the
Second.
