Greetings all,
Here’s a link to a just published book on the Barnegat Bay A Class Catboats and their sailors and the local yacht clubs. I've been through it and recommend it highly. As one who has campaigned these boats as well as helped build one of them (Ghost), this book rings true. I know quite a few of the sailors involved and their love of these boats comes across in their stories. It took a lot of love (and money) to rescue this class from near oblivion.
The production qualities are very high with great photos. The book can be ordered here. (http://www.nomadpress.net/ACAT.html) Ask Santa for a copy. Enjoy.
