Cruising World 20030801 From its launch in 1891 to the middle of the twentieth century, The Rudder was the greatest American yachting and boating magazine , says Peter H. Spectre in his Foreword; high praise from an editor who, to me, personifies the best of current American boating magazines. What made The Rudder so special?...It was edited for years by Thomas Fleming Day...He treated his readers as intelligent human beings... recognized yacht design as an evolution, with a connected past, present and future... of the school that the doing was more important than the having. All of these trace elements and more are present in the selected material which Tom Davin has divided into Winter Reading, mainly cruising yarns; Dream Ships, boats described by the leading designers of their day; the Care and Feeding of Yachtsmen, including recipes for Lobsters and Gin, Whelk Stew-Soup and Conch Salad; and The Hurrahs Nest, a bilgeful of dogmatic advice, arbitrary opinions, and clever devices and methods. My only real reservation about recommending this anthology without reservation is that I fear it will spoil you for modern boating magazines, including mine.
