Introduction
"The joy and satisfaction of planning a lovely thing like a cruising yacht, and of
ivatching her grow until she is there beneath you, with her guiding helm in your
own hand, trembling with the life that you, her creator, have given her
—
why it is
the most satisfying thing in the world."
— Maurice Griffiths
t is no secret that the anticipation of something can be equal to the achieve-
ment of it. In many cases it can be even better. That is why the search for
the ideal boat is generally more satisfying than the finding of it, and why
more books and magazines on boats are sold than there are boats afloat. All
that reading matter represents anticipation: of the next boat, of the best boat,
of the boat of your dreams.
This book is the anticipator's dream sheet. It contains reviews of some of
the most interesting boat designs of our time, and a few from times past. Some
even contain intimations of designs of the future.
These reviews are objective and subjective at once. Objective, because they
are written by reviewers with training and/or years of experience in design.
Subjective, because these same reviewers are no different from the rest of
us — they, too, are boat lovers, and they, too, have in their mind's eye the
ideal boat, and for years they have been searching for it. Our reviewers, like
us, are anticipators.
All of these reviews have their origins in
WoodenBoat
magazine, which for
nearly 25 years now has attempted to maintain a noble tradition of boating
and yachting magazines of the past. That is, to be a forum for designers and
their audience. Nearly every issue of the magazine contains a detailed look
at a boat or yacht design; nearly every review includes more than one view
of the design in question; almost always at least one of the views is the lines
plan, the very essence of the design. (Without the lines plan, or a lines per-
spective, any expression of what the boat is really like is merely conjecture.)
A design forum such as
WoodenBoat's
is more than an entertainment, more
than an outlet for the output of professional designers, more than floss for
dreamers. It is a tool for anyone seeking an understanding of what makes a
good boat and, by inference, what makes a bad boat. By reading the reviews
and by comparing the commentary to the plans depicted, eventually anyone
with an interest in boats will come to understand enough about design to sep-
arate the good from the not-so-good. In short, reviews allow one to become
at least an educated dreamer, at most an educated chooser of boats.

I
This book is a collection of many of the best reviews that have appeared in
WoodenBoat
magazine. They have been selected for many reasons, not the
least of which is that they are timeless: They are excellent boats now, and they
will be excellent boats in the future. Why? Because the sea is timeless; any-
thing that can now take to the sea will always be able to take to the sea. Other
criteria are the quality of the writing, the source of the perspective, the clarity
of the analysis, and, of course, the ability of the boat to meet the needs of those
who called for the design in the first place.
I should mention that the vast majority of these reviews are from the last
10 years or so of
WoodenBoat
magazine. That is because since the mid- to late-
1980s Mike O'Brien has been the design review editor at
WoodenBoat.
Mike,
a designer and boatbuilder in his own right, has an eye for a good boat and
the understanding to choose the proper analyst for that boat. He is the one of
late who has encouraged designers and naval architects to submit their plans
for review, and he is the one who commissioned a good many of these reviews
(he has written a great number of them, too). In editing this book, how could
I go wrong? I was able to pick the best of Mike's best.
I should also include a few cautions for readers of this book. All boat designs
are an amalgam of compromises and should be judged in that light. All review-
ers are subjective, and what they have to say should be compared to your
own knowledge and experience. All beautiful boats are not necessarily good,
and all good boats are not necessarily beautiful. And this book does not even
attempt to include all the good, beautiful boat designs available today.
If you can enjoy this book half as much as I enjoyed putting it together, you
have many happy hours of reading — and anticipation — ahead of you.
