Description
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
'This is one book you must buy before any other' - Yachting World
