INTRODUCTION:

• It is no secret that the anticipation of something can be equal to the achievement
  of it. In many cases it can be even better. That is why the search for
  the ideal boat is generally more satisfying than the finding of it, and why
  more books and magazines on boats are sold than there are boats afloat. All
  that reading matter represents anticipation: of the next boat, of the best boat,
  of the boat of your dreams.
• This book is the anticipator’s dream sheet. It contains reviews of some of
  the most interesting boat designs of our time, and a few from times past. Some
  even contain intimations of designs of the future.
• These reviews are objective and subjective at once. Objective, because they
  are written by reviewers with training and/or years of experience in design.
  Subjective, because these same reviewers are no different from the rest of
  us — they, too, are boat lovers, and they, too, have in their mind’s eye the
  ideal boat, and for years they have been searching for it. Our reviewers, like
  us, are anticipators.
• All of these reviews have their origins in WoodenBoat magazine, which for
  nearly 25 years now has attempted to maintain a noble tradition of boating
  and yachting magazines of the past. That is, to be a forum for designers and
  their audience. Nearly every issue of the magazine contains a detailed look
  at a boat or yacht design; nearly every review includes more than one view
  of the design in question; almost always at least one of the views is the lines
  plan, the very essence of the design. (Without the lines plan, or a lines perspective,
  any expression of what the boat is really like is merely conjecture.)
