| Americas cup yacht designs 1851-1986 Im trying to find out some information on a book by Francois Chevalier called "Americas cup yacht designs 1851-1986" I have heard some things about this book but never actually spoken to anyone who owns it. I want to purchase it (i think) but it is a $1000 book! Thats right $1000 (plus!!) Does anyone own it or know anything more about it? Thanks Tranth  |

| I own the book I own the book, it was publishes in 2 limited edition in 1987 (one hard cover and one leather bound). it was an expensive book at the time but well worth the price. The amount of time spent on gathering the information, redesigning the lines, for me, are invaluable. I just wish the line drawing were on single pages rather than across 2 pages, it would have been a lot easier to use to build models. At the time it was published, the hard bound cover was FF1500, about $150 in 2011, back then, it was more like $300 Again, well worth the price. |
