The Logans: New Zealand's Greatest Boatbuilding Family

by Robin Elliott, Harold Kidd, Barry Linton (Illustrator)

Soft cover, large landscape format. Illustrated, 132 pages. 2001

Excellent condition

A rare insight into this complex family of Scottish origin, its brilliant individuals and to the times when they were turning out the very best yachts and launches in the Southern hemisphere. Details of every known Logan vessel.

Since the 1880s yachts and launches from the yards and sheds of the Logan family have always stood out as shining examples of the designer's and builder's art. Contemporary reports would invariably describe these boats has having the Logan 'style' or 'finish', immediately marking them as something special.

Their racing yachts became champions and their cruisers and launches performed well above their owners' expectations giving the Logan name a mystique and pedigree that is still highly valued today.
