{"product_id":"the-worlds-best-sailboats-ferenc-m-t-9780920256442","title":"The World's Best Sailboats","description":"In the classic format of the first volume, with magnificent color photographs and black-and-white illustrations, the even more spectacular Volume 2 celebrates the giant leaps in technology and design of the last decade and a half. Ferenc Máté analyzes designs and construction while revealing the secrets of the world's top twenty builders, making this book invaluable for any boat buyer and would-be sailor. It includes dozens of new boats by the perennial best builders--Hinckley, Alden, Baltic, and Swan--plus all the boats of ten new builders, the likes of J-Boats, Oyster, Valiant, and Sabre, who have, over the years, consistently shown the highest quality and most creative innovation. Máté visited each of the boatyards--in Europe, Canada, and the United States--to document his scrupulous firsthand survey. His color photographs are benchmarks in nautical publishing, and his writing is thoughtful, engagingly direct, and always entertaining. Praise for Volume I: Possibly the most beautiful sailing book ever published.--\u003cem\u003eYachting\u003c\/em\u003e magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ferenc Máté\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0920256449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780920256442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Albatross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.03h x 9.28w x 0.93d","brand":"Ferenc Máté","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045842972927,"sku":"9780920256442","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26810da9-cdbd-4307-8e8f-94174a04dbc7.jpg?v=1684981094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-worlds-best-sailboats-ferenc-m-t-9780920256442","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
