In a Class All Their Own is a lush and loving homage to nearly forty classic/unique boats. Each has a story to tell, including the fabled history of the cat boat: the first fiberglass sailing yacht; a New York ferry boat repurposed as a houseboat; the oldest working fishing boat in Stonington, Connecticut; racing rivalries in the Sound; the French love affair with American boat designs; and the Jazz Age era of luxury yachting, among others. Explore not only the histories of the individual vessels, but their classes and designers, as well as their relationships to the environs in which they sailed, raced, cruised, and, in some cases, still operate as working vessels.
