Editorial Reviews

In the world of yacht photography, Beken of Cowes is the royal family. The Bekens (of Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, birthplace of the America's Cup) have been photographing sailing ships since the mid-19th century. Dozens of images from the Beken of Cowes archives are accompanied by brief biographies of the beautiful boats in this handsome coffee-table book. Sailing Thoroughbreds is guaranteed to turn sailors--and landlubbers--green with envy. --M. Stein

Excellent book!, 1998-06-22
Not only are the pictures stunning, but the brief histories of the different boats are interesting as well. If this is a coffee table book, you can rest assured that it will not remain closed.
