Compiled from a series of entertaining articles in PBO, a lighthearted and often tongue-in-cheek argument in favour of sailing simply when surrounded by expensive, complicated, ostentatious boats.
Sam Llewellyn is a renowned nautical novelist who contributes a column in PBO and Sailing (US). He sails a Drascombe Lugger (an appropriately simple, traditional craft) and writes from his home in the Hereford countryside.
'The reality of some of the experience contained within might
replace the worthy RYA handbooks with something a little more like
reality!'
*www.sailers.co.uk (December 2009)*
'From fitting-out, plumbing, buckets, and self-steering, to flag
etiquette, language and shouting, the cruising sailor's world is
humorously examined with gentle jibes all round. Illustrated in
colour throughout by the cartoonist Michael Peyton, this amusing
book will appeal to anyone who hankers after a simpler way of
sailing.'
*Cruising Association*
'This book is lavishly illustrated...Recommended to all who want a
little nautical humour...'
*Nautical Magazine (May 2010)*
'Each chapter makes us crease with laughter while reminding us
about the simple pleasures of sailing.'
