Item Number: 139403

New York: William Morrow and Company, 1936.

First edition of the author’s classic work on ocean racing. Quarto, bound in three quarters morocco, gilt titles to the spine, illustrated. From the library of William Doerflinger with a request for his review of the book from The Saturday Review of Literature laid in as well as the publisher’s typed description. In fine condition.

Yachtsmen will appreciate this running history of ocean racing, by an author well known for his "Yachts Under Sail." Until now there has been no full chronicle of the deep-water sport which differs from "longshore racing as a voyage 'round Cape Horn in Maytime differs from a row in the park."
