Naval architect Geerd N. Hendel (1903–1998) lived in midcoast Maine and designed a truly amazing variety of watercraft. His designs are sophisticated and polished yet respond admirably to the functions they were to perform. Hendel designed the Boothbay Harbor One Design, recreational sailboats, sportfishmen, yachts, trawlers, and logging towboats. He was a pioneer in designing aluminum boats for saltwater use. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, from personal life to designs. This is a designer who worked with some of the greats. He was "borrowed" from Bath Iron Works by Starling Burgess as chief draftsman. When Burgess collaborated with Olin Stephens for the 1937 America's Cup, Hendel was a part of it.
