Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Beautiful color photographs and evocative text transport the reader back to the golden age of Northwest yachting, when custom-designed and custom-built wooden yachts cruised the inland waters of the British Columbia and Washington. The Northwest is a premier center for classic wooden boats, and this book showcases nearly 40 of these beautiful craft, most built during the 1920s and 30s and now lovingly restored to their original condition. Admire the gorgeous lines and teak decks of the exteriors, then go below to see fine woodworking, gleaming varnished surfaces, bronze fittings, customized designs-all the lavish details and craftsmanship that make these boats floating works of art from a bygone era.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I got some great ideas for working on my boat
The photos and writing are the best I've seen amoung wooden boat books. I've been rebuilding a double-mahogony hull Owens for two years, and I got some great ideas on how to finish out the decks, and the interior. The Owens has never looked better!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic Wooden Yachts of the Northwest
I think this book written by my brother-in-law is great. He & my sister put alot of time & effort in this book. The pictures of the yachts are just awsome. I find this book to be very interesting!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic Wooden Yachts of the Northwest
Mr. McClure captures the inner character and beauty of each yacht featured. Mr. McClure conveys through art-like photographs and discriptions what each owner feels about their particular yacht. The readers absorb through each vessal how the owners have perserved a 'moment in time' through loving restoration.
