WIN a copy of Eileen Ramsay: Queen of Yachting Photography

by Stephanie Morgan 4 Dec 2015 14:06 GMT 4 December 2015

In celebration of Eileen Ramsay's 100th birthday, we're giving away three copies of this beautiful collection.

Eileen Ramsay was the queen of yachting photography from the mid-1950s to early 1970s, and her work uniquely chronicles post-war sailing in Britain. Famous portraits include such icons as Sir Francis Chichester, Eric Tabarly, Olympians like Rodney Pattisson and Keith Musto, and historic pictures from the first OSTAR (Observer Single-handed Trans-Atlantic Race).

This wonderful book celebrates an extraordinary woman, her extraordinary subjects, and a fascinating time in yachting history.
