Reviews
The Newport cat-boat is famous the world over for her handiness, speed, and ability.... I never saw one of them come to grief, and in fact they have always impressed me as being the handiest all-round boat afloat., A rare and meaningful contribution to understanding one ofAmerica's most unique and enduring sailboats.

Synopsis
Interspersed among the gold-plated yachts of the Gilded Age were many humble catboats serving as fishing boats, livery craft, and pleasure boats. Here their story is told in well-researched detail with a fine collection of period photographs., When we think of Newport at the end of the nineteenth century, we think of life lived large--big houses, big yachts, big money. But like the diversity of people found in any waterfront town, there was a diversity of watercraft in Newport waters. In among the yachts are found the workboats and other small craft. John Leavens took a look back at the humble catboat and found a wealth of information about its origin, its builders, and its owners. These small sailboats with their masts well forward served as fishing boats, livery craft, and pleasure boats and were seen everywhere, it turns out, in Newport waters. Combining years of research, conversations with waterfront habitues, and a fine collection of period photographs, John brought together the full story of Newport cats but passed away before it could be published.

    I value transparency with Ebay sellers - and this seller was 110% transparent about the condition of the item and what to expect as documented through photos and description. (A used and flawed but beautiful signed book). This was a d--n good value for the money. The seller was honest about the authenticity of the signature and the edition, the item arrived swiftly and was well packaged. I have no complaints and would buy from this person again. I'm delighted to own this. Thank you!

    Seller combined multiple orders into one package - Super fast shipping! Packaged well. Magazine is as described and shown - there is indeed minor staining (?) at the top right edge of some pages and the covers were loose around the top staple. Still decent value. THANKS for the deals!
