{"product_id":"jim-young-jim-young-9781511808156","title":"Jim Young: Designer, Boatbuilder, Sailor","description":"A comprehensive history of yacht design in New Zealand as seen by one of the country's leading designers. 298 pages in full colour with plans and drawings. This book covers a unique period in the history of yachting and boating in New Zealand that happened to coincide with Jim Young's life as a boatbuilder\/ designer\/ yachtsman. It was an era that saw dramatic advances in design and construction technology from what was an ancient craft, steeped in tradition, unchanged for centuries, to a time when boat builders have had to relearn the trade completely as wood has been steadily replaced by synthetics. This book lays out Jim Young's boat building career from his boyhood canoe made of roofing iron and tar to some of the most successful boat designs in New Zealand maritime history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1511808152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781511808156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.79d","brand":"Jim Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985363239167,"sku":"9781511808156","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_704bd3d6-ebef-4285-ae43-09ab31bd09ba.jpg?v=1683277126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jim-young-jim-young-9781511808156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
