"Iron Fist" and "The Legend of Mercury" were both recommended to me by my buddy John Crouse. Anyone who visits this site will really enjoy them. They are both great books.

MF,le coperte dei Cigarette 32'-36' avevano il "cavallino rovesciato" che caratterizzava le stupende linee disegnate da Aronow.
Il "cavallino" in certi yacht classici e' lo slancio verso l'alto del ponte, verso prua. Aronow invece inverti' tale slancio anche per motivi prettamente pratici come dare una migliore visibilita' al pozzetto di comando.
Quindi la coperta segue armonicamente la poppa.
Ma dalle foto mi sembra che nei lavori di modifica abbiano disgraziatamente tagliato pari tale andamento.
Per verificare questo basterebbe misurare l'altezza della fascia del baglio da prua a poppa per vedere se rimane costante o subisce delle variazioni.


MF, the decks of the Cigarettes 32'-36' they arched toward the bow that it characterized the stupendous lines drawn by Aronow.
The "cavallino" in certain classical yachts was the rush upward of the bridge, toward bow. Aronow instead reversed such rush also for practical motives purely as to give a best visibility' to the cockpit.
Then the cover harmonically follows the stern.
But from the photos it seems me that in the works of modifications unfortunately peer has cut such course.
To verify this would be enough to measure the height of the band of the beam from bow to stern to see if it is constant or it suffers some variations.

Happy Easter to You and everyone on OSO!

On the HORBA site, in the free members section, look in the miscellaneous area about half way down, and there is a lot of info on Carl and those engines including pages from the actual catalog.
