G.L. Watson & Co. is delighted that the eagerly anticipated biography of the company’s founder is now available to buy online.

Written by Martin Black and published by Peggy Bawn Press, the volume is a lavishly illustrated 496 pages, with over 300 photographs and illustrations.

Watson’s brilliance springs forth from the pages of this comprehensive book:

In his lifetime G.L. Watson was responsible for creating some 450 designs; an incredible achievement which equates to a launching every three and half weeks. The background to this extraordinary career, together with previously unknown insights into this man of taste and principles, has now been remarkably documented thanks to Martin Black’s years of patient research.

G.L. Watson – The Art and Science of Yacht Design, is an important contribution to our understanding of Naval Architecture, Yacht Design, Victorian endeavour and the career of a genius.
