DESCRIPTION:
Delightful book I've owned a Monk designed sailboat for 25 years and I love the comfortable sea handling and thoughtful experienced layout. I was delighted to find this book as Ed Monk Sr passed on before we made our 50,000 journey - so I missed the opportunity to share my appreciative experience in his design. But I did tell his son - Ed Monk Jr - how great it was. He wasn't surprised. Anyhow, I loved the book because it gave me a deeper understanding of the man and his art and craft. It's too bad most modern boats are computer designed and thus have no soul.. Book order. Joanna Vine Love this book! Shipping went smoothly.. Five Stars As Advertized
Thousands of Monk's fishing boats, sailboats, runabouts, tugs and power yachts have been built, mostly on the Pacific coast. His designs are renowned for their efficiency, their strength and their pleasing lines. Since the 1920s, the comfortable and beautiful boats designed by Ed Monk have been treasured for cuising, working and living aboard. This is a collection of Monk's designs, illustrated with stories, line drawings and photos.
