Description: New York: The Rudder Publishing Co, 1929. First Edition. Single Issue Magazine. Illustrated by Rosenfeld. Fabulous vintage yachting magazine issued in the heady days of America just prior to the stock market crash of October 1929.

Of these, our favorite is the two-page Duplex Marine Engine Oil ad which includes a photo of Gar Wood, "undisputed speed-king of the world", Orlin Johnson and Commodore Gar Wood, "the greatest racing team in the history of motor boating", and the two fastest boats in the world - Miss America VII and Miss America VIII, running at 82mph. Illustrated articles include: The New York Yacht Club Cruise; Gar Wins at Detroit; Four Splendid Yachts; Grosse Point Yacht Club; At the Gold Cup Regatta; The Social Side of Yachting; High and Dry in Canada - Chick-Chack in Nanaimo and environs; The Voyage of the Svaap - Part VII - at San Cristobal; Long Island Sound Harbors - Cos Bob Harbor; The Ways of the Sea, Part X - Pumps and Pumping Ships; Rope and Its Care; A Proposed Class M.
