UN SIECLE DE VOILIERS DE SÉRIE FRANÇAIS ET LEMANIQUES
Lark1899	1852-1953 Daniel Charles - 2 Volumes Over 200 perspectives of hulls revived thanks to the magical computer-generated images to find our grand-parents' and parents' yachts again ! Here is, among others, the original feature of this book, due to the joint talents of Daniel Charles, the author, and Yann Bernard, the illustrator. The whole story of French boating, its clubs, habits and ideas, passes before our eyes and revives some 120 series. This exceptional retrospective allows each one to understand the way our boats became what they are and recounts the extraordinary patrimony of the French boating. The story of each boat is illustrated with pictures, plans of hulls, of shape and sail, of specifications sheet, but these amazing computer-generated images revive, as with a wave of magic wand, these boats which had disapeared from our memory. This book, made with the help of the French Sailing Federation, appears to be the essential encyclopaedia to all passionate, yachtsmen or model-makers. Daniel Charles, one of the two experts of the seaside patrimony approved by the Ministery of Culture, has already signed several nautical books, including Passions du bateau classique at the Van de Velde Maritime Editions.
