After The Storm Description: I can testify that storms change lives, because one changed mine.John Rousmaniere, from the Introduction John Rousmaniere`s classic Fastnet, Force 10, which the Los Angeles Times called a narrative worthy of the best sea literature, established him as one of the foremost nautical writers of our time. In After the Storm, his most ambitious work yet, his quest for meaning amid chaos takes storm stories to a new level of revelation and universality. After the Storm is a moving, provocative exploration of the roots and consequences of sudden tragedy in human affairs. Vivid, wise, and heartfelt. The crowning achievement of one of America`s foremost sailing writers.Nathaniel Philbrick, National Book Award - winning author of Into the Heart of the SeaAs captivating as it is unusual. Rousmaniere`s descriptions of hurricanes and shipwrecks are among the best in the literature of the sea, but his book is far more than a sea story.Philip Caputo, Pulitzer Prize - winning author of A Rumor of War and The VoyageAmong writers who sail and sailors who write, John Rousmaniere is unrivaled in his technical expertise, his breadth of thought and feeling, and in his vigor and lucidity as a storyteller. His best book yet.Jonathan Raban, author of Passage to Juneau and Bad LandA thinking person`s Perfect Storm.Daniel Finamore, Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History, Peabody Essex Museum No one writes about the violence of the sea better than John Rousmaniere, and he proves it again and again in After the Storm.Stuart Woods, author of Blue Water, Green Skipper and The Short Forever...

Build The New Instant Boats Description: When Harold Paysonknown to associates, friends, and his wife as Dynamitebegan supplementing his boatbuilding work by selling boat plans, he got feedback from a number of customers who found the boats too difficult to build. Selling plans for boats that never got built went against Dynamite`s Down East grain, and it was also, he figured, a straight road to bankruptcy in the long run. He outlined the problem to Philip Bolger, arguably the most innovative small-craft designer around, and Bolger agreed, on one condition, to design a series of that would require no lofting, no jig, and no lumber that could not be obtained at any local building supplies store. The one condition was that Dynamite would build and thoroughly test a prototype of each design to wring out every bug before offering the plans for sale. The eventual result was the original fleet of six boat described in his first book, Instant Boats. Here are eleven new Instant Boats to choose from, including three built with a new tack-and-tape method that eliminates most beveling. There are complete building instructions and plans for the Gypsy, a 15-foot, double-chine outboard speed boat; Windsprint, a 16-foot, double-ended, lug-rigged sharpie; and others. (Full-size plans are available from the author; you can build directly from the book, but the purchase of larger-scale plans will make the task of scaling off the patterns easier.)...
