One of the best selling books on american motor yachting from the last years : 31 descriptions of boats through 150 color photographs We have chosen to keep the original title of the book, as this term defines the beautiful chromium-plated part which decorates and protects the stem of motorboats from the golden age. Many years, of travel and discovery, were necessary for the author to get together the 150 color photographs illustrating this collection of 31 portrayals of collector's boats. This gallery, of the rarest specimens from the best american and canadian shipyards, illustrates a series of original texts about the story of the main types of motorboats built in the early 50's. CUTWATER explains the reasons why boats from the early century were long and narrow. Then, the pioneers of motor navigation tried to outdo in imagination. The most inventive ones gave birth to the most prestigious brands of boats during inter-war years. Perfectly restored today, the motorboats and runabouts sailing in CUTWATER become friendly objects. They represent an irreplaceable inheritage to remember the summer-days happiness in peace and beauty. Book in French - 144 pages - Landscape oblong 27,5x21,5 Printed on enamel, semimat - 150 color photographs Cloth boards with headband, under four-color pictorial jacket.
