Great book of Photos

Got this book for my girlfriend for Xmas and she loved it. Onne has a great eye for sailing themed pics. One downside is the racing pics are a little dated. Wound recomend to anyone.

A beaufiful book

This is a book for sailors ,and people who love beautiful photography these images capture the energy ,beauty,and lifestyle of sailing. I am not a sailor myself but these images pulled me into a world I could only dream of. A wonderful addition to any library.

wind and water boating photographs from around the world

This is a beautiful book. If you love boating or the water this would be a great coffee table book for you.

Beautiful!

I bought this book for my husband, who is a sailing enthusiast. It is an absolutely beautiful book with gorgeous photos. My husband is very pleased with it. I originally saw it in the Williams Sonoma Home store, of all places, where it was selling for a much higher price.

Awesome photographs!

If you love sailing, the sea - or anything vaguely nautical, this is a fantastic book to have around. The author is obviously someone who really loves photography, sailing and the sea - and it shows. There are over a hundred large beautiful color images covering boats, boat races such as the Americas cup as well as some fantastic scenery shots only reachable via water. However, if you really want to get an idea of the type and quality of the photographs in this book, it is well worth visiting the author's gallery (vanderwal.com) rather than simply trusting my written review.
