Review
Latitudes & Attitudes March/April 2006 (circ.: 55,000) “It’s an interesting read, illustrated with gorgeous photography of J/Boats doing what they do so well, racing and cruising.”
Good Old Boat Newsletter, February 2006 (circ. unavailable) “Anthony Dalton has captured the enterprising spirit behind the success of J/Boats. This book will appeal to everyone with an interest in fine sailboats and the companies behind them.”
Great Lakes Boating, February 2006 (circ.: 32,350) “If you are a devoted fan of the J/Boat, in all its many designs and personalities, then this tribute to Johnstones’ and their passion for sailing just might be the perfect addition to your bookshelf.”
Reader Reviews
J/Boats is a good example of what happens when things go right. I teach a college course to Business Majors called Advanced Management Problems and use case studies to have the students decide what direction the company should go in the future. Very few people know that J Boats do not actually make the boats but subcontract the work. This was a great decision by management in the early years of J/Boats. Photos are excellent!
