John B 108 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Commonsense of yacht design is a rare book. Used to be worth a lot of money , but book values have plummeted and they don't seem to be worth much except intrinsic value now. The book was a collection of articles LFH wrote for Rudder magazine in the ? 40's? 50's. Great reading , he's quite the funny/ curmugeon writer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
