Sailing, Yachts and Yarns by Tom Cunliffe
Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a selection of British sailing legend Tom Cunliffe's most entertaining, outspoken and instructive writing from the pages of Yachting Monthly magazine. Tom's regular column for this leading sailing magazine gives him free reign to explore a wide range of topics. He has a gift for capturing the magic of sail and finding pearls of practical wisdom in the most unlikely nautical adventures. Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a wonderful miscellany of wit, wisdom and wonder. It will make you laugh and make you think - and make you want to cast off to enjoy the delights of life afloat.
'Nobody captures the magic of sail or conveys the lessons of seamanship like TomHe's one of sailing's great raconteurs.' DAVID GLENN, EDITOR, YACHTING WORLD, 'Each piece has its merits, each is a wonderful mix of entertainment, humour and outspoken wisdoms as Tom delves into the endless fund of stories on a huge variety of boating-related subjects. By the book's end I felt I'd got to know the man better. Most certainly he is very, very talented both as a sailor and scribe.' (Sailing Magazine, December 2015)
