A fitting partner volume to our series of large format lavish photographic celebrations of leading 20th century yacht designers, this time for Nat Herreshoff, one of the most revered designers of the 1920s and 1930s, an innovator and bold thinker. Nat Herreshoff was one of the giants of early 20th century yacht design - an innovator, a bold thinker but most of all a designer of graceful, beautiful racing yachts, many of which are still winning classic regattas today.

His standing is equalled only by the likes of William Fife and Charles Nicholson.

Franco Pace's stunning photography captures their sheer grace and elegance in a truly fitting tribute which will thrill Herreshoff's devotees as well as lovers of classic yachts.

"Hace casi quince años que soy cliente y amigo de la Librería Cal Matias de Tarragona. Muchos libros de su extraordinario catálogo de literatura naval se relevan unos a otros, viaje tras viaje, en los estantes de teca de la camareta del velero en el que navego buena parte del año (...) Por eso debo debo felicitar a Matias, sus familiares y amigos por este 25º aniversario de tan magnífica y -en los tiempos que corren, más todavía- arriesgada aventura. (...) Como decían los viejos corsarios, deseo a la Libreria Náutica Cal Matias buen viento y buena caza."
