Overview

Sparkman & Stephens were undoubtedly one of the most successful and influential yacht designers in the history of modern yachting. Formed as a result of the partnership between the Stephens brothers, Olin and Rod, and Drake Sparkman in the late 1920s, the breadth and dominance of their designs from 6, 8 and 12 metre boats to America's Cup yachts as well as a renowned fleet of ground breaking cruising and racing yachts is quite remarkable. Dorade, Vim, Nyala, Columbia, Stormy Weather, Intrepid, Courageous: these are just some of the names which ring out in tribute to the brilliance of their creators. This magnificent book celebrates the work of Sparkman and Stephens, providing an insight into the detail and precision which infused their work, and which enabled them to make such a mark on yacht design worldwide. Franco Pace's stunning photography captures the grace and elegance of these yachts, providing a gloriously lavish tribute to the wide range of Sparkman and Stephens' work.
