Richard Spindler, Publisher and Executive Editor of Latitude 38 Magazine,

wrote in the August, 2010 issue ...

"It is a superbly written book that will prove fascinating to all sailors, and features such Northern California sailing legends as Warwick ‘Commodore’ Tompkins, Skip Allan, Tom Wylie, Steve Taft, Ron Holland, Dave Wahle, Tad Lacey, Gary Mull, and countless others. Unlike most sailing books, which tend to be big on photos and short on text, Barton has written one of the most detailed and well- researched sailing books ever, one that is packed with history, colorful characters and delicious trivia. Barton's book will be particularly interesting to the main players in the 1970's Northern California racing scene."
