ShowBoats International contri-butors Jack Somer and Louie Psihoyos bring the tale of the world’s largest aluminum sailing yacht to life in words and pictures in the coffee-table book Athena—A Classic Schooner for Modern Times. Highlighting the construction of the 90-meter schooner from day one, the book includes manuscripts covering five years of dedicated collaboration between designers Pieter Beeldsnijder and Gerard Dijkstra, the late Wolter Huisman, his Royal Huisman Shipyard and Athena’s owner Jim Clark. The three-masted schooner is widely considered one of modern yachting’s—and the world’s—greatest feats of engineering and cooperation.
