Media reviews

'This is a dangerous book that would make a great Christmas present. You think you'll dip in, but then you stay there for ages' Sailing Today (December 2007) 'More than enough material for the casual browser mug up on the details and impress your friends, family, or whoever else tries to put you on the spot.' Lloyd's List (August 2007) 'Interesting, witty, informative and full of those questions you may have pondered on but perhaps never found the answer. An interesting book for both on board or at home.' Gaffer's Log ' one of those ideal bunkside companions you can pick up and dip into anywhere - but be warned, you may find it hard to put it down again.' Yachting Life (July 2007)The Main Sail.com (September 2007)
