American Classic—The Yachts and Ships of Jack
Hargrave
Mike
Joyce and Hargrave Custom
Yachts have not only sponsored Westlawn’s
75th anniversary Diamond Jubilee, but they’ve produced wonderful a new
biography of Jack Hargrave, perhaps Westlawn’s most famous alumnus. Jack’s
design work is legendary, and Marilyn Mower, the author, and the book’s
designer Darcey McNiff Thompson, have given us: American Classic—The Yachts
and Ships of Jack Hargrave. [Click here
to see a photo gallery of Jack-Hargrave designs.]
Regularly
$79.95, the book is on sale at a special price through Westlawn of just $75.00,
and the proceeds go to the Hargrave scholarship fund for Westlawn. I can’t
think of a better way to learn more about boat design and Jack Hargrave and to
support Westlawn than to buy a copy. Our thanks to Mike Joyce, Marilyn Mower,
and Darcey McNiff Thompson.

From the inside flap:
Jack Hargrave—The man who
put America on the water!
More than 300 designs. More
than 7,000 boats and ships.
What Nat
Herreshoff and the Stephens brothers are to sailing, Jack Hargrave is to the
world of motor yachts—and then some! Hargrave’s genius lay in his ability to
design every type of vessel and achieve success with any construction material.
In 1959, he revolutionized the boating industry with the world’s first
fiberglass convertible sportfisherman. In 1960 he rocked the world again with
the first all-aluminum luxury yacht.
In just 38 years
Jack Hargrave and his team of designers, engineers and draftsman drew the lines
that launched 7,000 yachts and ships: no other designer comes close and it is
unlikely any other independent yacht designer ever will. A quiet man of great
humility, Hargrave’s talent allowed him to conceive vessels as dissimilar as a
19-foot runabout, offshore racing boats, stern wheelers, military patrol boats,
thousands of elegant yachts, and even a 691-foot integrated tug-barge.
With Don Mucklow,
Willis Slane, Dave Parker and a cast of Carolina boatbuilders – Hargrave
created the greatest brand production boatbuilding has ever known – Hatteras
Yachts. Hargrave’s ideas and style redefined America’s power boat industry and
his ideas about solid, seakindly boats took root at 65 yards in 21 countries.
Jack Hargrave –
the dean of American naval architecture – was a man of intriguing contrasts.
Although he designed yachts for the world’s elite, he never forgot his Midwest
values, brown-bagged his lunches and hated the term megayacht.
American
Classic—The Yachts and Ships of Jack Hargrave introduces the reader to a
true American success story and in so doing traces the richest chapter in the
development of boating and commercial shipping the world has ever known.
