The dean of American naval architecture, Jack Hargrave was a man
of intriguing contrasts. He pioneered the use of fiberglass and aluminum in
prestigious yachts for elite clients, but often brown-bagged his lunch and
considered the term "megayacht" pretentious.
In 224 pages, 334 photos and illustrations and 75 yacht design
profiles, American
Classic, The Yachts and Ships of Jack Hargrave traces
the richest period of boat development through Hargrave’s life and work. In researching this warmly entertaining volume, author Marilyn Mower, Showboats
International editor-at-large, built a relationship with
the Hargrave family. They provided private insights and never-before-seen
personal photos that make this book much more than a simple biography or boating
tome.
Available at Bluewater Books in Fort Lauderdale, Armchair Sailor

Nautical Media Group at 954-463-0555.
