Twelve Ships a Sailing: 35 Years of British Home-Water Cruising

1st ed, 1st imp. 232pp. Lightly illustrated. Blue cloth-covered boards (sharp and bright). Occasional mild spotting. In its original, price clipped, dust jacket (gently bumped at edges). Dust jacket now in archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect & prolong the life of the jacket. It is not adhered to the book or to the jacket. Andrews draws on this experience of half a life time's seagoing to relate seagoing encounters and exploits encompassing working as a hand on Thames barges, catamarans, navigating around the coast of Norway and cruising the Scottish ports. More than a collection of nautical anecdotes, this is a valuable source of information for those whom the delights, fears, fun and knowledge of small boat cruising make a fascinating way of life.
