Boats

Paying homage to my family’s heritage of boatbuilding, Boats is a collection of artifacts spanning more than half a century. The book is in memory of my grandmother, who kept the family archive alive through her diligent care and observation, and my grandfather, whose passion for boatbuilding was declared at a young age and fulfilled with a lasting impact.
