A Review from Bob Perry
Once employed by Dick and now a successful yacht designer himself, Bob Perry writes of In the Golden Age:
“Beautifully illustrated with photos and technical drawings this has to be one of the very best books on yachts and yacht design I have ever read. It’s a fun book to read as it takes you, step by step through the world of designing racing yachts at the highest level.”
