Product Description:
A portrait of Joel White, naval architect and builder, sailor and citizen, who lived in Brooklin, Maine. In a world often distracted by fashion and whim, the designs of Maine boat builder and naval architect Joel White hold special appeal. Simplicity, elegance, and strength are the words that define his work. This book celebrates White's life and the boats he built, in words, stunning photographs, and plans. Because it is a collaboration of White's longtime friends and shipmates, it brings exceptional insight into his work. 70 color photographs, 31 drawings.
