Descriere magazin:
Since 2004, award-winning author and historian Stan Grayson has regularly contributed stories to WoodenBoat magazine about the many yachts, small craft, designers, boat builders, and sailors who have captured his imagination. This collection of twenty articles from Grayson and the pages of WoodenBoat presents a wide-ranging and insightful account of American yachting history and some of its fascinating characters. Readers will voyage back to the early days of the famous Herreshoff Manufacturing Company; experience the fascinating 1895 America\'s Cup race; share a morning\'s scalloping on Martha\'s Vineyard with the last of America\'s catboat fishermen; meet the innovative C. Raymond Hunt, who conceived the revolutionary deep-V powerboat; and gain an insightful look at Captain Jousha Slocum, the first man to sail alone around the world. In these and other pieces, Boat Crazy offers a delightful kaleidoscope of engaging stories that give readers a sense of time, place, technology, and personality. In newly written behind-the-scenes introductions for each piece, Grayson discusses why he found the topic important and shares interesting research tidbits and reader reactions. Key to Grayson\'s work are the primary source materials on which his writing is based. Each piece found in Boat Crazy combines Grayson\'s painstaking original research with the patient, step-by-step work of an experienced history detective, a journalist\'s curiosity, and a writer\'s love of language. Readers will emerge from this book with a deeper appreciation for both America\'s yachting past and those who are working today to preserve and interpret it.
