Looks pretty fair to me. I recognized 15 of them off the bat.
You may want to keep an eye out for L. Francis Herreshoff's (of the Bristol, R. I. Herreshoffs, as if there could be any question) The Compleat Cruiser, an outstanding dialog on cruising and historical yacht design. If you're interested in in-depth historical design issues, there's also Howard Chappelle (History of American Sailing Ships and History of the American Sailing Navy among others). Small-boat design fans would also want to look for books by/about the noted 20th -century designer Uffa Fox. I might also add Sir Francis Chichester, who wrote about his various Gipsy Moths both marine and aerial.
