Since 1883, the Club Nautique de Nice has been running the lake. Whether sailing boats, motor boats or even rowing boats, this club has marked the history of the bay. This book retraces the entire history of the club in chronological order.
For each of the actors who marked his period, the author stops in detail, telling the story of the athlete and his victories or the local figures who helped the development of the club. But more than the text, it is above all the richness of the illustrations that make the quality of the book. Written documents, photos of the cups, pictures of the boats, description of the premises..
These illustrations take us back to a century of navigation, not so long ago, but which seems so far away from us. The book concludes with current and contemporary views.
This book is especially for lovers of Nice and its bay. It will probably be of less interest to a yachtsman from Brest. But the iconographic quality makes it a witness of yachting in the Mediterranean during the 20th century. A beautiful flashback very pleasant to dive into.
