Presented in a slipcase this is a photographic collection of the most beautiful boats designed by William Fife between the end of the last century and the first decade of this. They are, this book reveals, considered amongst the most elegant, and successful racing boats of their time, ever built. Included are photographs detailing the woodworking, the instruments and interiors of the boats reflecting the history and the ancient charm of these yachts which perfectly restored, still continue to plough the oceans of the world. There is also a history of the Fife family.
