The Brilliance of Sunbeams

More about the book

A beautifully illustrated look at the history, stories and characters behind this classic yachting keelboat. The Sunbeam class was designed 84 years ago, and are still classic boats - made of wood and beautifully crafted. Raced in Chichester harbour and Falmouth, this is a collection of photographs from the beginning - early photos in black and white, and modern photos in full colour. There is also a full history of the class - anecdotes, stories, sinkings, races, and some of the characters that sailed these delightful boats.
