Signed, numbered limited editions

An Absorbing Interest. The definitive history of the America's Cup in 2 casebound volumes  By Bob Fisher  (£250 + p&p)

Revised edition

JUST 29 COPIES REMAIN. This beautifully designed book charts the history of sailing's most enigmatic and greatest prize. In two volumes it covers the drama, boat design, personalities and sheer fascination of the America's Cup, from 1851 in Cowes to 2003 in Auckland. It is illustrated with photographs, cartoons, paintings and figures, and can rightly claim to be the definitive history.

The work contains full records of all races and is made up of 32 Chapters - one for each of the 31 challenges and one for the race around the Isle of Wight in 1851 for the One Hundred Pound Cup, presented by the Royal Yacht Squadron as a prize for the regatta.

"This is the Bible of the America's Cup."   Bruno Troublé - Louis Vuitton

EILEEN RAMSAY - THE QUEEN OF YACHTING
PHOTOGRAPHY
 
   By Barry Pickthall  (£25 + p&p)

A special signed, limited edition

98 copies remain in this edition all signed by Eileen Ramsay 

Eileen Ramsay, now 99, was at the centre of a unique period in yachting history, and this wonderful book, featuring her classic photography, celebrates an extraordinary woman and her extraordinary subjects.

Eileen's heyday was between 1950 and 1970 - a time when eccentrics ruled, records were there for the setting, and women weren't often to be found behind the lens.

Her unique archive records the explosive growth in dinghy and offshore sailing during post-war years, and includes pictures of the first Enterprises, Mirrors, Ospreys, Optimists and the first America's Cup 12 metres Sceptre and Evaine. The book also covers the developments in offshore racing over the period and the first Cowes/Torquay and Round Britain powerboat races.

Sailing Legends - The Story of the world's greatest ocean race. 
(£40 + p&p) 
 

Signed Limited Edition

The Whitbread Round the World Race - now the Volvo Ocean Race - spans 40 decades , eleven races and more than 300,000 miles across the most inhospitable seas. 

From gentlemanly competition in yachts designed more for graceful living than screaming around Cape Horn, the race has progressed to purpose-built craft with few creature comforts, crewed by fanatical, professionals

No one tells the history of the first ten Races better than journalists, Bob Fisher and Barry Pickthall. In "Sailing Legends" they mark the anecdotes, highlight all the major stories, and provide biographies of sailing's greatest names. The book also lists every crewmember to have taken part.

The Fabulous 40s   (£50.00 + p&p)

The history of the Farr 40 One-design ClassCompiled by Bob Fisher 

Only 20 copies remain in this limited edition.

The Farr 40 One-design class is unique within the world of offshore yacht racing, having been a pathfinder during a period of great change within the sport. The secret to its success is the fact that the class is owner driven quite literally. Owners - all amateur helmsmen - are alone in having their hands on the helm during class racing. The success of this concept is unparalleled. 152 yachts are now spread across 19 Countries. This lavishly illustrated coffee table book captures the close racing and comradeship between crews racing in many of the best locations around the world. This is a book for all yacht race enthusiasts and lists the results of all the world championships as well as owners and their yachts.
