One of the best known and most prolific writers on the sea, writer-historian-sailor John Rousmaniere has written 22 books and hundreds of articles. His most recent book is In a Class by Herself: The Yawl Bolero and the Passion of Craftsmanship, a biography of one of the finest of all American yachts and the people who made and restored her (including FBYC member Rives Potts.) Rousmaniere’s book Sleek is a collection of breathtaking photographs of classic yachts. He has written three histories of the America’s Cup, including a biography of the yacht America, The Low Black Schooner. He is now at work on the centennial history of the Newport-Bermuda ocean race.

In his talk at the FBYC Winter Program entitled The Golden Pastime, Rousmaniere will present a beautifully illustrated survey of great yachts, great sailors, great races and the great photographers who recorded them.
