{"product_id":"thousand-dollar-yacht","title":"The Thousand Dollar Yacht","description":"Anthony Bailey, living in England, found a builder for the hull of his 28 Dory and with the help of good friends finished constructing the Billy Ruffian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe then salvaged, scrounged, and occasionally - it was a great thrill - bought whatever was needed for fitting out the boat. Before long he and his family were sailing a simple, spacious and eye catching craft completed within his one thousand dollar budget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Thousand Dollar Yacht has won countless admirers and the status of a boating classic. The story of the Billy Ruffian is told from lofting to launching, and later her cruises on Long Island, Fisher's Island, and Block Island sounds-a story that distills the wind, fog, sun, salt, and sand, conveying the sensations of sailing to a set destination or meandering gloriously through coastal waters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor : Anthony Bailey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback :  214 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSKU : P8728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003eAnthony Bailey is the author of sixteen books, including the fictional Making Progress, The Mother Tongue, and Major Andre.
