Moonraker & JCL Marine Ltd --- Colin Chapman's Boat Industry

A book on paper, and as an eBook, from electronic publishing pioneers, Nighthawk Publishing, the story of Colin Chapman's Boat Industry.

Colin Chapman is best known for his role in founding and developing the Lotus Car company and for his contribution to motor racing. His innovative Lotus 7 provided the thrills of motor racing, or high performance street car, in an affordable package for young and young-at-heart drivers.

Colin Chapman, often controversial, was a gifted practical engineer, with a background in aviation and automobile design and construction, who died prematurely. What is less well known is his contribution to the yachting industry through the Moonraker motoryachts which survive in some numbers today, the pride of members of the Moonraker Owners clubs.

Sarah O'Hara tells this story now, aided by the contributions of members of the Chapman family and those who lived through this exciting stage in the development of the modern British motorboat industry. As in everything he did, Colin Chapman innovated brilliantly and his contribution can be seen today in the best of British motorboats.
