John G. Alden and his Yacht Designs

Robert W. Carrick

Richard Henderson

Between 1908 and 1954, John Alden employed the best draftsmen of his generation, and the legacy is 900 yacht designs that have proved as durable as they are graceful. The book is composed of two sections: The first is a biography of Alden, and the second consists of discussions, photos, and drawings of 100 of his best designs (including Tar Baby, pages 163-169). This tribute to Alden's yachts, with hundreds of photos and plans, also pays tribute to a vanished era of yachting. Across its pages sail classic wooden boats of unparalled beauty. Includes a complete catalog of Alden boats.
