PR Newswire discovered Rowdy
“Designing Rowdy was an opportunity to exercise many aspects of fine bookmaking, including production and manufacturing. I was fortunate to work with a well-penned author whose appreciation for craftsmanship extended far beyond his written manuscript. Shaping the book took the care of an entire team, not unlike the renovation of Rowdy, herself. I am pleased to have spearheaded the creative journey bringing this classic publication to life.”

“ROWDY is an extraordinary presentation of monumental yacht restoration culminating in supreme racing successes of a vessel nearly a century aged....My grandfather, Captain Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, designed and built all the signal one-design classes of the prestigious New York Yacht Club as well as yachts that defended the America’s Cup for the Club six consecutive times. The “Fighting Forties” accomplished vigorous racing between NYYC members over many seasons starting from 1916. The ROWDY story, so well and thoroughly presented is both instructional and inspirational....It is a fine read!”
