This book, by a leading expert in the field, is the first major history of yachting for over a quarter of a century. Setting developments within political, social and economic changes, the book tells the story of yachting from Elizabethan times to the present day: the first uses of yachts, by monarchs, especially Charles II  yacht clubs and yacht racing in the eighteenth century  the early years of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes and an analysis of the America Cup challenges  the pioneering developments in Ireland and the exporting of yachting to the colonies and trading outposts of the Empire  the expansion of yachting in Victorian times  the Golden Age of Yachting in the years before the First World War, when it was the sport of the crowned heads of Europe  the invention of the dinghy and the keelboat classes and, after the Second World War, the massive numbers of home-built dinghies  the breaking of new boundaries by risk-taking single-handers from the mid-1960s  the expansion of leisure sailing that came in the 1980s with the use of moulded plastic yachts  and current trends and pressures within the sport. Well-referenced yet highly readable, this book will be of interest both to the scholar and the sailing enthusiast. MIKE BENDER is an experienced yachtsman and qualified Ocean Yachtmaster, with some forty thousand miles, mostly singlehanded, under the keel. He is an Honorary Research Fellow in History at the University of Exeter.
