Year: 2000 Language: english Author: Julian J. Genre: Guide Publisher: MBI Publishing Co ISBN: 0760310386 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 158 Description: The early 1930s saw the last high-water mark for big yachts in more than half a century. The mighty J-Class cutters were competing for the America's Cup, and the last of the great steam yachts, Nahlin and Corsair IV, had just been built for British and American owners respectively. Memories of the Depression and the Great War were slowly receding, and the threat of further conflict was not yet fully apparent. But vast social changes in the wake of the Second World War put paid to yachting at the level for many years. The indusln would continue, but on a diminished scale. There are many reasons for the recent renaissance of the great yachts, including modern machinery and materials as well as space-age navigation and communications systems. New vessels have been built and older ones restored. Grand yachting has always been the preserve of the affluent, and what was once the exclusive domain of royalty and nobility also became the pastime of the very rich. It makes fascinating history
