This volume is a worthy companion to the Bekens' 'A Hundred Years of Sail' and 'The America's Cup'. It is a magnificent portrait gallery of contemporary yachts photographed in some of the world's most prestigious venues over the past decade.
Selecting from the Beken archive - a collection that is nothing short of a national treasure - demands a steely nerve so that hundreds of thousands of images can be whittled down to the 115 plates in this book which are of yachts photographed by Keith and Kenneth Beken on the Solent, in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. The yachts are arranged in three categories "Spirit of Tradition", "Cruise-Racers" and "Grand-Prix Elite".
