No one has mentioned the upcoming book "Mariette and the Herreshoff Schooners" by Jacques Taglang. Given that the subscription period will expire in a very few days I thought you should know.
It will be monumental, fact-filled to the brim and contain for the first time color reproductions of original Herreshoff construction and sailplans that are simply breathtaking. And, though expensive, I actually think that pricewise it is very reasonable, especially in comparison with the usual yachting books of the non-informational coffee-table-book variety.
This is certainly the most important Herreshoff book of the past few years.
Highly recommended! Go for it!
