 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.
