A universal symbol of wealth and long favoured by celebrities, high society and the top 0.1%, the yacht is an impossible creature that breaks the boundaries of technology, luxury and decadence. Assouline's 'Yachts: The Impossible Collection' is a beautifully curated anthology of ships, starting from the 1851 ship for which the America's Cup was named, to J Class racing yachts of the early 1900s, to today's high-tech mega yachts.
