內容簡介

Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a treasure chest of nautical wit and wisdom. Tom Cunliffe has chosen the very best of his writing for Yachting Monthly magazine to ensure a lively mix of anecdote, opinion and instruction. Tom shares the lessons learned navigating an engineless yacht across the Atlantic with only the stars to guide him – he also lets loose on the red tape and rules that he sees infringing on the freedom of the seas. There are hilarious tales take the reader on a voyage from the frozen waters of Greenland to the palm trees of the Tropics. Tom has a gift for explaining the magic of sail and his writing is a marvelous antidote to mass market commercialism that threatens to engulf sailing. This is a perfect book for dipping into to discover another gem from one of greatest sailing writers alive today.
