My Yacht Designs: The Book
I wrote and produced MY YACHT DESIGNS and the Lessons they taught me a few years ago and it was a sellout hit. There are no more copies available for purchase, except as used books on Amazon.com where the prices range from $436.00 to $966.50! Apparently people like this book that much!
The cost of reprinting is so prohibitive that I have decided against it. Yes, there is demand but not enough for the minimum print run that would cost a fortune. And the day of paper books is behind us now.
Fortunately, there is another option: reading the book on your computer or tablet. So here is the opportunity to purchase the book at a much-reduced price. Once you download it you can return to it whenever you like, or even print any chapters that particularly interest you.
In producing this digital version I have completely re- Photoshopped the many lovely pictures and expanded the captions, plus added eight pages of stunning new photos! The original book consumed nearly four pounds of wood products and toxic color inks plus the carbon required to ship it to you, which took over a week. In downloading your own digital copy you merely move some weightless electrons around, doing your part in saving the earth. Please accept the fact that a very few of the black and white drawings’ lines may not show up perfectly on your monitor or tablet, because it has 72 pixels per square inch versus the 300 in the print version. The photos come through absolutely stunning!
A fascinating history of a world-famous yacht design office. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of dazzling full color photographs of some of the most beautiful yachts ever designed. 298 pages. Designs in both sail and power. Packed with valuable lessons that will shortcut any would-be designer’s path to success. Presented in pdf format so it reads just like a printed book, with both left and right pages visible. You do not need a proprietary device (Kindle, Nook) to read it- just the computer you’re using now. Because of this format, you can print any part or the whole book on your own printer. You can zoom in and out to make the page easily readable. See the unsolicited reactions below- everyone who has bought this book loves it! Many people told me the original hardcover book was grossly underpriced at $59.95 plus $6.05 for shipping. You can have it now for one-third the original price, and no charge for shipping! Instant gratification- the download takes about a minute. Recently updated to illustrate fascinating new designs.
