Year: 1983 Language: english Author: Walker M. Genre: Guide Publisher: Chronicle Books ISBN: 0-87701-137-0 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 140 Description: There is a new current flowing in the world of yachts today. Those individuals who honor both tradition and modern craftsmanship in boatbuilding have joined a rising tide of interested sailors, and it is a mark of our time that their numbers are increasing. In Down Below, Matthew Walker leads one on a journey through an international fleet of classic yachts, an inside look normally hidden from the public. Although his combined experience as a boatbuilder, writer, and photographer qualifies him as a guide, these talents are enhanced with a rare understanding and affection for his subject. The text in these pages gives substance to the yacht-owners, often indicating how closely their personalities and their yachts are matched. The camera, however, reveals the photographer as well as his subject. The images which follow are rich in detail, illumination, color, and mood, for an invisible caress has entered this secret realm. Down Below is a book welcoming the general reader as much as the experienced sailor — a document for all who dream of the sea.
