A Berth to Bermuda, by John Rousmaniere
Description: One Hundred Years of the World's Classic Ocean Race! When it was first sailed in 1906, the Bermuda Race made the sea a playground by creating a new sport-ocean racing by amateur sailors in normal boats. Sponsored by the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, the race is now so glamorous that sailors' ears perk up when it is mentioned, so difficult that participants ask themselves "Why am I out here again?" and so addictive that they keep coming back for this every-other-year event. In this lavish, heavily illustrated book, yachting historian (and Bermuda Racer) John Rousmaniere tells the story of the remarkable sailors, the great boats, the tactics, the Gulf Stream ordeal, and the lure of Bermuda that makes this the world's classic ocean race. Published by The Cruising Club of America and Mystic Seaport. ISBN 0-939511-7. Hardbound.

All This and Sailing, Too, by Olin J. Stephens
Description: Olin Stephens was the most successful racing-yacht designer of the twentieth century, a legend in his own time almost from the day in 1931 when he and his brother Rod and father Roderick Sr. finished a transAtlantic race to England in the revolutionary 52' yawl Dorade a full two days ahead of the competition. His autobiography begins with youthful family sailing, moves on to Six-Meter designs, to J-Boat experience in the 1930s, to war work in the 1940s, to America's Cup design and sailing from 1958 to 1983, and to a fleet of great cruising and racing yachts in between. This personal history of Olin and his brother Rod, of the renowned design firm of Sparkman & Stephens, and of international yachting in this century, is informed, introspective, and eloquent. 8" x 10" cloth bound book of 272 pages, with 70 illustrations and index. Also available in an Italian edition.

In a Class by Herself: Bolero, by John Rousmaniere
Description: Not only is Bolero "the best of her class" (as someone said of her), but she was created and restored by a diverse company of people who were the best of their classes. Bolero is one of those cultural heirlooms that is constantly being rediscovered in ways that would astonish even her creators, and her story is of a vast and varied world of laughter and tears, triumph and failure. The same boat that was featured in Time magazine and broke a Bermuda Race record was nearly wrecked on Cape Hatteras and, only 15 years ago, was rotting away in a Florida canal. Today, magnificently restored, she again wins races and turns heads, just as she did upon her launch in 1949. 9" x 11", 168 pages, color illustrations, 2006. ISBN 0-939511-13-4. Hardbound.
