Im trying to find out some information on a book by Francois Chevalier called "Americas cup yacht designs 1851-1986" I have heard some things about this book but never actually spoken to anyone who owns it. I want to purchase it (i think) but it is a $1000 book! Thats right $1000 (plus!!) Does anyone own it or know anything more about it? Thanks Tranth

I own the book I own the book, it was publishes in 2 limited edition in 1987 (one hard cover and one leather bound). it was an expensive book at the time but well worth the price. The amount of time spent on gathering the information, redesigning the lines, for me, are invaluable. I just wish the line drawing were on single pages rather than across 2 pages, it would have been a lot easier to use to build models. At the time it was published, the hard bound cover was FF1500, about $150 in 2011, back then, it was more like $300 Again, well worth the price.

William Berrisford I have a copy of the book that I bought from Llewellyn Howland shortly after it was published. I would be agreeable to sell it if I could find a serious buyer, and I could be assured, that I wasn't violating forum rules by doing so. -HHBILL

Do you still have "1851 America's Cup Yacht Designs 1986" and want to sell it? Regards Uli

The one version of this book on Amazon is the same book that has been circulating around through various online sellers for some time. It's a signed limited (1st) edition and it's a big book, weighing 16 pounds and large format (12x18), so not cheap to produce. My understanding is there are very few of these puppies available and this particular one has been on the market since at least 2012.

Hey everyone I own this book, I bought it when I was young, and a good sailor , this book is heavy and is in perfect condition new/like new,( I never put it under the sun or in my boat, never been on my library because too big, i put in a shelter with a soft blanket around it and in a plastic bag, is like new and is numerated with 11** and hand signature by both authors. I want to sell it but I'm in Spain (europe) and send to the US is very expensive i guess, maybe if no one want to buy it or for a decent price, I give it to Maritim Naval museum in my city or some museum who like it.  

Gary Mitchell New Member

I have a son in the USNavy who travels in Spain and I would be interested in purchasing this book from you. Is it still for sale? How much would you sell it for? Please send info and pictures of condition to me at gary at medfordhomefurnishings dot com  

Thanks

I too have a copy of this book, number 2313 0f 2574. Bought it in Paris back in 1992. Still has dust cover, good condition and no foxing (brown splotching on paper). Don't recall what I paid for it but has been a very handy reference tool over the years. Well worth its weight!

America’s Cup Yacht Designs, 1851 to 1986, by Francois Chevalier and Jacques Taglang!

This wonderful book includes line drawings of America’s Cup racers from 1851 to 1986. These drawings make a great start for building models. The three-inch by twelve-inch by twenty-four inch book weighs eighteen pounds and has been out of print for some time.

Here is a list of the names, followed by the page number, of the 12-meter yachts that are to be found in the pages of this remarkable book:

Columbia 391 Vim 393 Easterner 396 Gleam 397 Sceptre 399 Weatherly 417 Nefertiti 419 Gretel 421 Constellation 437 American Eagle 429 Sovereign 441 Kurrewa 443 Intrepid 459 Columbia 461 Dame Pattie 463 Intrepid (2) 483 Valiant 485 Heritage 487 for Charley Morgan Gretel II 489 France 491 Chancegger 493 Courageous 511 Mariner 513 Southern Cross 515 France II Project 517 Courageous 537 Enterprise 539 Independence 541 Australia 543 Sverige 1977 545 France II 547 Freedom 571 Clipper 573 Australia 575 France III 577 Lionheart 579 Sverige 1980 581 Liberty 619 Defender 621 Spirit of America 623 Magic 625 Australia II 627 Challenger 12 629 Advance 631 Victory 83 633 Victory 82 635 Azzurra 637 Canada I 639 Royal Oak Project 641 Kookaburra II 685 Kookaburra I 657 Kookaburra Project 659 Challenge France 661

I have started collecting and drawing out the lines of the older J-Class boats but will move to these as soon as I have some of the drawings available. If anyone has this book, and would like to lend it to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Descrizione

2574 copies, numbered and signed by the authors. Copy number 910, with the dust jacket slightly damaged.

From the foreword by Ben Lexcen: “As a student of the America’s Cup and its history, I am grateful to François Chevalier and Jacques Taglang for faithfully collecting the designs of all the challengers and defenders. I know the idiosyncrasies of designers and their paranoia for secrecy, so it must have been with great charm that they managed to convince contemporary designers to release their plans and working drawings. The Cup has continued for 135 years and for four of those years they have toiled to complete this wonderful publication. Mr. Chevalier’s masterstroke of re-drawing the plans so that the yachts are presented in the same format is brilliant. Now, it is simple to follow the history of this great contest and to study the changes which emerged as different Rules prevailed. The concept of every beautiful yacht can be carefully and thoroughly evaluated.

This beautiful book is destined to be a collectors item as well as an invaluable reference source. It is an honour to be asked to make such a small contribution to its success.”

Size: cm 45×31,5×5,5

Languages: English and French

Edition: 1987

2574 exemplaires numérotés et signés des auteurs. Exemplaire numéro 910 avec la couverture légèrement abimée.

De la préface de Ben Lexcen: “En ma qualité d’amateur de la Coupe de l’America et de son histoire, je suis reconnaissant à François Chevalier et à Jacques Taglang d’avoir fidèlement rassemblé les plans de tous les challengers et defenders. Je connais les manies du “designer” et sa paranoia du secret; ainsi, ils ont du deployer beaucoup de charme pour trouver les moyens de convaincre les architectes contemporains de leur confier leurs plans et tracés d’études. La Coupe se poursuit depuis 135 ans et pendant quatre de ces années, ils ont peiné pour réaliser cette merveilleuse publication. Le coup de maitre de M. Chevalier d’avoir redéssiné les plans des yachts à la meme échelle est tout à fait remarquable. Il est maintenant aisé de suivre l’histoire de cette grande compétition et d’analyser les modifications dues aux différentes Jauges en cours, si bien que la conception de chacun de ces superbes bateaux peut etre parfaitement et minutieusement analysée.

Ce magnifique ouvrage est destiné à devenir un objet de collection aussi bien qu’une source de référence inestimable. C’est pour moi un honneur d’avoir été sollicité pour contribuer si modestement à son succès.”
