This comprehensive history of the 6 metre class covers racing and anecdotes of these sleek yachts developed under the International Rule through 100 years of existence. There are several profiles of the famous boats, such as US 81 Goose, N 80 Elizabeth X, and SUI 77 Fleau, as well as national histories, significant trophies and competitions, and hundreds of photos, many of which have never been published before. The book has real heft and is printed beautifully.
