Lasting Friendships A Century Of Friendship Sloops [Paperback]

Originally developed in the late 1800s as a working boat and fishing platform, the Friendship sloop has survived as a type and has become recognized as an American sailing classic. This is the story of a family of boats and how they weathered more than a century of change and transition, and why they still have a passionate following today. With hundreds of photographs, both contemporary and historical, sidebars from multiple authors, Lasting Friendships is a must for any lover of traditional sailing vessels or Maine history.
