Clean, Sweet Wind : Sailing with the Last Boatmakers of the Carribean by

A generation ago, before waves of tourism submerged traditional ways, Douglas Pyle spent five years sailing his small sloop from island to island in the eastern Caribbean, seeking out native whalers, fishermen, and traders to learn how they built their boats. This book captures Antillean speech, beliefs, and hospitality with as faithful an accuracy as it renders the graceful designs of Caribbean boats.
