Des Sleightholme, former Editor of 'Yachting Monthly' for many years, is well known for his irreverent outlook on the Establishment and for his unfailing eye for the funny side of things. Here he takes on a hilarious and highly entertaining anecdotal romp through his sailing life. From childhood efforts to get afloat at all costs - 'if it floats stand on it' - to the tribulations of running a charter boat, the wandering narrative moves from the reader from high drama of a force ten dismasting to the farce of a shattered toilet bowl. The author has a connoisseur's eye for a cock-up and the result is a wonderful, delightful read.Paperback - 5-1/2' x 8-1/2' - 192 pages - 30 b/w

Compiled by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, who has years of experience sailing small boats around the world, this Logbook is not only a convenient place to keep all the specific notes that need constant referral during a voyage (tides, compass errors, barometer readings, etc) but also a sailing record of the boat, ports visited, interesting sights, and people invited aboard. The second edition retains the clean uncluttered layout enjoyed by navigators, but includes new material relating to the advent of GMDSS.Hardcover - 7-1/2' x 9-1/2' - 144 pages - 5 b/w
