'Yachts: The Impossible Collection'

A universal symbol of wealth and long favoured by celebrities, high society and the top 0.1%, the yacht is an impossible creature that breaks the boundaries of technology, luxury and decadence. Assouline's 'Yachts: The Impossible Collection' is a beautifully curated anthology of ships, starting from the 1851 ship for which the America’s Cup was named, to J Class racing yachts of the early 1900s, to today's high-tech mega yachts. Everything from classics with timeless silhouettes, to head-turners that broke the mould is covered here, with the crusade for advanced green technology given equal as equal attention as size, speed, and the luxurious features of fantasy vessels. 'Yachts: The Impossible Collection' is supplied with complimentary white gloves and a signature canvas tote bag.
