New York, Nan A. Talese, Doubleday 2000, cm.17x24, pp. viii,289,(7), leg. ed. cartonata bicolore, titoli in argento al dorso, sopraccoperta fig. a colori. A stint in the army and a broken heart lead Kevin Patterson to the dock of a sailboat brokerage on Vancouver Island, where he stands contemplating the romance of the sea and his heartfelt desire to get away. By the end of the day, he finds himself the neophyte owner of a sailboat called the Sea Mouse. He also has a plan: to sail to Tahiti and back, and burn away his failings in hard miles at sea. First he recruits a traveling companion, another brokenhearted guy who at least knows how to sail. They set out like the Two Stooges-Seasick and Slapstick. Days without wind are days to kick back on the deck with a beer and a man-versus-nature adventure book that valorizes their journey into an essential quest for manhood. But eventually the voyage begins to take on a sharper edge. On a relentless beat across the South Pacific, they run across one solitary male sailor after another on the lam, not heroes but refugees. Both the literature and the reality of masculine adventure start to pall, and Patterson begins to long for home. But to get there, he faces the toughest of trials, single-handedly sailing the Sea Mouse across the North Pacific and through a four-day gale, conscious that no one on earth knows where he is or that he might die. The illusion that men are best tested by loneliness and adversity cracks in the force of the wind and the terrifying beat of the water, and The Water In Between becomes a hymn, not to running away but to heading home.

La storia del primo 12 metri , stazza internazionale italiano. Torino, Allemandi 2009, cm.24,5x24, pp.112, ill. legatura editoriale, sopracoperta figurata a colori. Nel 1928 un aristocratico genovese, Franco Spinola, ammiraglio, amante del mare e della vela, fa progettare e costruire La Spina, primo yacht italiano della classe internazionale dei 12 metri. La vela italiana non è tuttavia ancora in condizioni di accogliere la sfida lanciata da Spinola e lo yacht sarà presto trasformato in cruiser. Nel 1938 è acquistato da Gian Augusto Salina Amorini Bolognini, facoltoso nobile bolognese che, in compagnia di una giovanissima e affascinante scozzese, salpa per una lunga crociera nel Mediterrraneo, ospitando a bordo la società esclusiva, colta e mondana del tempo. A questa crociera seguirà un'altra, nel 1948, in un mondo profondamente mutato. E diverso ancora sarà il Mediterraneo che La Spina solcherà avendo al timone nuovi proprietari: l'ingegnere Alessandro Brunetti, esponente dell'Italia degli anni dell'industrializzazione, e più tardi un finanziere internazionale. Ogni fase della storia del Novecento carica La Spina di nuovi significati: è uno status symbol capace di interpretare le mode di un intero secolo. Oggi La Spina, splendida vela d'epoca, è testimone della intera storia della classe dei 12 metri nella cultura velica in Italia.

Photography de Simon McBride. Editions Du May 2004, cm.24x27, pp.216, ill.col. Relié avec jaquette. The luxury sailing yacht--that sublime marriage of form and function--is plush yet sleek, indulgent yet built for speed. Thirteen of the very finest of these boats are displayed here, from lovingly restored schooners and cutters built in the early twentieth century to the new generation of high-tech yachts. The author, a sailor himself, discusses each boat's history and characteristics, above and belowdecks, including her origins, racing record, and more intricate explanations about her fittings and design elements. Lush photographs show the boats under sail, as well as details like the original fireplace in the nearly century-old, 147-foot Orion; the bronze blocks on Linnet's deck, re-created from designer Nathanael Herreshoff's 1904 drawings; and the Mariette's forward cockpit, resplendent with monogrammed cushions, designed to keep passengers dry during a close-hauled tack. Burnished wooden staircases leading to well-appointed cabins and orderly galleys stocked with specially inscribed silver and
