Yacht Clubs of the World: On the Water-In the Clubhouse-The World over

Johnson has taken a look at an international selection of yacht clubs that have contributed to the sport in some significant way. He looks at each club s history, location, facilities, eccentricities & activities. The book is illustrated with color photos, club burgees & line illustrations. Specific classes raced, regular regattas & cruising awards are among the detail of the clubs concerned. The whole study is prefaced by an introduction to the phenomenon of yacht clubs in general. The book provides a practical reference to many of the world s leading clubs, but in so doing also unravels much of the history of what is probably the world s most international sport.
