Participation in the sport of rock climbing has exploded in New Zealand in recent decades, & New Zealanders & visitors alike flock to the diverse range of crags & alpline cliffs that are found all over the country. Rock climbing is now taught in virtually all outdoor recreation courses, & the interest in the sport is also reflected in the many indoor climbing walls that have sprung up in virtually all urban areas in New Zeal&. Classic Rock Climbing in New Zealand is the natural response to this interest, the latest in our ' Classic' series that has been so successful for Craig Potton Publishing. As always, these books work by wrapping a high-quality photographic essay around a reflective & informed text on the subject to create a beautiful memento. This has always been successful when the only other books available on the subject are guidebooks, which is absolutely the case with Classic Rock Climbing. Nothing like this has been published in New Zealand before, & we are confident that it will find an enthusiastic audience. The author, rock climber & professional mountain guide Mark Sedon, has followed the obvious geographic structure for writing the book, starting in Auckl&, moving to the limestone outcrops of the Waikato, & the volcanic buttresses of Taupo & the North Island volcanoes. Moving south, Wellington, Golden Bay & the West Coast are featured, while the wider Canterbury region has plenty of superb climbing. & in the deep south the often spectacular & highly scenic climbing areas around Dunedin, Wanaka, Queenstown & Fiordland are all covered. The images have been collected together from the best climbing photographers in New Zeal&. They are of the highest quality, & on the strength of this alone they will create a stunning book that anyone who enjoys rock climbing in New Zealand will not be able to overlook. ...

Of all the hundreds of types of pleasure craft, large & small, that you can see on any given day in any given body of water, you may rest assured that the one that will draw your eye will invariably be a classic sailing yacht. & this is the case not only with sailors, who can be presumed to recognize a yacht's pedigree; the rankest landlubber almost always reacts the same way, in the universal spontaneous appreciation of beauty that we all feel when confronted with it. This book, then, is dedicated to a celebration of that beauty, that indescribable quality that makes a sailing yacht a classic in the truest sense of the word. We will begin by defining, or attempting to define, just exactly what a classic yacht is. We will review & discuss some of the typical factors we should consider: design, materials, vintage, size, & builder. Also discuss how different countries
- & different builders within one country
- developed individual solutions to common problems, as well as investigating the events & trends that led to those problems. This attempt at defining the meaning of classic will lead to the inescapable conclusion that, when applied to yachts, the word encompasses a remarkably broad range of parameters. A 50-meter steel gaff schooner is no more a classic than a perfectly proportioned small one-design such as a Herreshoff 12-1/2. In between those two extremes there is a world of beautifully crafted sailing yachts that truly illustrate our argument. The main body of the book will be devoted to classic sailing yachts, chosen to represent various aspects of the genre in its most interesting, most challenging, & certainly most beautiful manifestations. Each chapter will be dedicated to a specific boat, providing an in-depth analysis of her background, design, construction, & sailing characteristics. Also included in each chapter will be several other similar yachts, in order to provide a contextual frame of reference. Clearly, no book of this type can exist without the visual stimulus provided by gorgeous photography, just as no sailing yacht can be fairly described without illustrating why we consider her to be a classic, a timeless nautical work of art. The background descriptions will enhance the reader's enjoyment of the images, providing a more thorough appreciation of the beauty displayed. The book will give the reader a comprehensive understanding of the concept of classic yachts, how to appreciate both looking at them & sailing on them, & ultimately simply provide a basis for enjoying them on a more knowledgeable basis.
