A Century of Outboard Racing

Desmond, K: 1991 USA, hardcover with dust jacket, illustrated. A Century of Outboard Racing by Kevin Desmond is an illustrated history of outboard‑powered boat racing from its early twentieth‑century beginnings to the modern era, following the evolution of hulls, engines and race formats on lakes, rivers and offshore courses. The book combines profiles of pioneering designers and daredevil drivers with accounts of major championships and record attempts, making it both a technical overview and a tribute to one hundred years of fast, noisy and often risky competition on the water.
