Yachting - A History
By Peter Heaton
Published by B.T. Batsford Ltd: London 1955 1st Edition

"Peter Heaton's Yachting: A History presents a comprehensive and engaging chronicle of the sport of yachting, tracing its evolution from early pleasure sailing in the seventeenth century to the highly competitive racing and cruising of the twentieth. Drawing on his deep knowledge as a sailor and writer, Heaton explores the changing design of yachts, the development of major racing classes, and the influence of technological innovation on speed and performance. His narrative blends technical understanding with a lively appreciation for the personalities and events that shaped yachting's rich tradition.

Published by B.T. Batsford in 1955, this first edition includes numerous photographs, illustrations, and plans that complement Heaton's clear and authoritative text. It remains a landmark study of the social, sporting, and aesthetic dimensions of sailing through the ages. This volume will appeal strongly to maritime historians, classic yacht enthusiasts, and collectors interested in the golden age of British yachting literature."
