Book SynopsisPeter Clutterbuck was lucky enough to be a teenager in the 1960s, when long summer holidays meant uninhibited opportunities to find freedom - and danger. He proceeded to set out on incredible voyages across the high seas in a 16 foot open dinghy. With a series of intrepid crew he first sailed across the Channel, then braved the notorious Bay of Biscay, cruised the Mediterranean, before tackling the North Sea and Baltic. Sailing on the edge, often on stormy nights, Peter and his crew survived towering waves, gales, capsizes, dismasting, nine rudder breakages, getting lost in fog, and hallucinations caused by sleep deprivation. Beautifully and charmingly written, with plenty of offbeat humour, this is a lovely insight into a golden age of freedom and adventure. With a Foreword by world-famous yachtsman Brian Thompson.Trade ReviewTorn between staying at sea to face probable disaster and running onto a lee shore where they may yet have a ghost of a chance, what follows is seamanship of the highest order. * Tom Cunliffe, Yachting World *The sailing is white knuckled, the resourcefulness breathtaking. * Yachting Monthly *A tremendous book. * Classic Sailor magazine *A classic real-life story of derring do on the high seas, complete with extreme risk, last-minute ingenuity and many near-misses. * All at Sea *An object lesson in how to turn dreams into reality, of how to complete extremely risky challenges. -- Brian Thompson * Foreword *The events described, and the hardships not described, are so extreme as to seem suicidal. -- John Mardall, Editor * Maritime *

Book SynopsisOlympic gold medallist and multiple world champion, Paul Goodison, explains why this book is important if you want to win races. He says: “To win sailboat races you need to sail the boat fast. This comes down to hours on the water training and tuning – there are few shortcuts to hours of practising on the water. To consistently win races you need to sail fast and smart – making the right decisions to sail the best course. If you are not the fastest boat, you are still able to win races and regattas by managing risk and sailing smart. This is where good tactics come in. But, unlike boatspeed, tactics may be learnt by thinking about each leg of the course and different situations from the comfort of your own home. Jon Emmett’s new book, Tactics Made Simple, is a great tool to help fast track this learning.” This book explains simply, through hundreds of diagrams, what tactics can be applied around the race track. Individual boats in each scenario are given names so that you can easily understand what they are doing. Individual chapters take you around the race course, from before you get on the water, through the pre-start, start, different legs and manoeuvres. Each section contains detailed advice for the beginner, intermediate and advanced sailor so you can just look at the level of tactics relevant to you. Ideal for dinghy sailors, there is also a wealth of advice that will benefit yachtsmen. This is a practical way to improve your racing results, whether starting out, moving up the club circuit or competing at national level and beyond. Originally published by Wiley Nautical as Be Your Own Tactics Coach.Trade Review“Jon Emmett’s new book, Tactics Made Simple, is a great tool to help fast track learning. Jon is an extremely talented coach with a great passion for the sport. In the book he explains each tactical situation very well with clear diagrams and limited text. This book is a must for any sailor who wants to improve their tactical skills. With reading, understanding and practice you will become a better sailor and tactician.” (Paul Goodison)Table of ContentsForeword; Introduction; Pre Start; Starts; Upwind; The First Beat; Tacking; Windward Mark; Tight Reaching; Beam Reaching; Broad Reaching; Running Symmetric; Running Asymmetric; Gybing; Leeward Mark; Leeward Gates; The Second Beat; The Final Beat; The Finish; Being Consistent; Attacking and Defending; The Weather; Index of Boat Names

Book SynopsisCollisions are expensive! Learning, understanding and remembering the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) is essential for anyone venturing onto the water. Leisure boaters, as much as professional mariners, need to know the rules, and a firm understanding is required to pass many nautical exams. But with the COLREGs stretching to over 12,000 words, this is no small task. This is where Paul Boissier’s excellent book comes in. Paul knows the COLREGs backwards having used them extensively in his career with the Royal Navy – from the bridges of submarines and warships which he has commanded, with each giving a rather different perspective on other shipping! He also knows the other side well with his extensive cruising experience, from his early years with his father to now, sailing his own yacht. These experiences mean that he knows and understands the COLREGs from both sides and this gives him the ability to take you through the COLREGs from a mariners’ and sailors’ perspective. He brings the vital, but dry, document to life, going through it not in order, but by topics which are relevant to the mariner and sailor. Paul explains the intention of each rule and how it should be applied when at sea. He includes personal anecdotes (not all favourable to him!) which make everything real and tells us how he remembers different aspects of the Regulations through mnemonics and other devices. Finally, each chapter ends with a self-test to reinforce what has been learnt – other tests are also available online on the Fernhurst Books’ website. This new edition has been updated with the 2016 changes to the CLOREGS. Whether you want to increase your confidence, pass an exam, require an on-board reference, or wish to improve your understanding of the nautical rules of the road, this is the ideal book for you.Trade Review“Boissier writes with intellect, wit and realism, effortlessly educating the reader to understand the spirit as well as the letter of the law. His tips and anecdotes, gleaned from experience, make this an excellent guide to an essential subject.” (Yachting Monthly) “Anecdotes and detailed explanations throughout this book make the nautical rules very clear, as do the well-conceived diagrams. A timely, readable and absolutely essential guide.” (Julian Stockwin) “...one of the most easy-to-read rule books out there.” (Boat Mart)Table of ContentsForeword; 1 Introduction; 2 Context of the rules: Rules 1-7; 3 How to recognise other vessels by their lights and shapes: Rules 20-31 and 36; 4 Sound signals: Rules 32-35; 5 The manoeuvring rules: Rules 8, 11-19; 6 Narrow channels and fairways, and separation schemes: Rules 9-10; 7 Some examples of collision avoidance; 8 Particular issues for yachts and small boats; 9 Buoyage; 10 Distress signals: Annex IV; 11 International marine VHF channels as used in the UK.

Book SynopsisIn an old wooden sloop, Philip Marsden plots a course north from his home in Cornwall. He is sailing for the Summer Isles, a small archipelago near the top of Scotland that holds for him a deep and personal significance. On the way, he must navigate the west coast of Ireland and the Inner Hebrides. Through the people he meets and the tales he uncovers, Marsden builds up a haunting picture of these shores - of imaginary islands and the Celtic otherworld, of the ageless draw of the west, of the life of the sea and perennial loss - and the redemptive power of the imagination. The Summer Isles is an unforgettable account of the search for actual places, invented places, and those places in between that shape the lives of individuals and entire nations.Trade ReviewA truly remarkable writer -- Robert MacfarlaneMagical * Guardian *[Marsden] writes beautifully... In these islands at the edge of the Atlantic, he finds a rich tradition of myth, poetry and ancient lore that still speaks to us across the gulf of time * Guardian *I loved The Summer Isles from page one... Like one of those doorways so popular in Irish myth [it is] a portal not just to other places but to other times... marvellous -- Michael Kerr * Telegraph *A triumph... It is unlikely that a finer travel book will be published all year -- Hugh Thompson * Literary Review *Marsden brings characteristic elegance and insatiable curiosity to bear on his voyage; we are whisked along as passengers, alternately enchanted by this unforgettable coastline and apprehensive of its treachery. Even the most dogged land lubber cannot fail to be exhilarated by these stiff salt breezes -- Madeleine BuntingThe best book I've read on a sailing trip since Jonathan Raban's Coasting * Irish Independent *One of the most brilliant, imaginative and alluring travel books I have read in a long time -- William Dalrymple ‘Books of the Year’ * Wall Street Journal *By turns exhilarating and hauntingly poetic, this is a memorable book, full of reflection and wonder. Long after I'd finished reading it, part of me was still aboard Tsambika, peering into the distance, making out half-shapes, strange sea creatures, mythical kingdoms and snatches of ancient folk songs caught on the breeze... Sublime * Mail on Sunday *Beautifully written... As nail-biting as Conrad... Wonderful... Marsden is a subtle and elliptical writer. He never overstates and he is always doing more than it looks at first glance. So at the same time that this is both history and adventure, it is also a journey inward... [A book of] imaginative brilliance and precision... Marsden, more than anyone, understands that imagination, in its ability to conjure islands, is a solid thing * Elementum Journal *There is no better guide to the deep and dazzling meanings found on the western fringe of Europe than Philip Marsden -- Patrick BarkhamReading Philip Marsden's voyage is the only time in my life I shall want to be lost at sea. Shimmering, profound, and deeply mesmerizing -- John Lewis-StempelBattling unforgiving weather and repairing his boat on the fly, he shares the myths, legends and songs surrounding these mystery-shrouded islands * Wanderlust *Thrillingly alive * National Geographic Traveller *Philip Marsden [is] one of Britain's great sea writers... a truly beautiful voyage through people and poetry as well as the sea * Marine Quarterly *

Book SynopsisA family''s thrilling voyage around the Caribbean and across the Atlantic Ocean''A great read for anyone daring to throw caution to the wind'' CoastThree years after his return from the Alaskan wilderness, Guy Grieve was living on the Isle of Mull in Scotland with his wife Juliet and their two young sons. Sick of the weather, perennial colds and their increasingly routine lifestyle, they'd all been getting restless. Finally, Guy and Juliet broke in spectacular style they re-mortgaged their house and bought a yacht. Her name was Forever.The plan? To pick up Forever from her mooring in the Leeward Antilles off the coast of Venezuela, and sail around the West Indies before crossing the Atlantic back to Scotland. This was despite the fact that Guy, skipper of the expedition, had almost no sailing experience. Travelling around the lush tropical islands of the Caribbean and up the waterways of America, the family had countless sublime moments as they discovered the freedoms of sailing anchoring in deserted bays, night passages under star-studded skies, and entering New York by water, greeted by the Statue of Liberty. But there were also testing times as they grappled with seasickness and bad weather, coping with young children at sea and learning to run a large, complex boat. Far from being the idyllic escape they'd envisaged, the journey forced Guy and Juliet to draw on reserves of courage and endurance they never knew they had. Wry, funny and buccaneering, this is a compelling tale of bravery and endeavour, out on the open sea.Trade ReviewA great read for anyone daring to throw caution to the wind * Coast *
