This is a groundbreaking, technical analysis of yacht design,
linked to the theory and testing of how a sailing yacht behaves
underway. It is cutting edge - the author (a world expert in the
field) has drawn his conclusions from years of research, analytical
testing in wind tunnels and tanks, and his results represent the
state of the art in performance prediction which underlies all
modern yacht design. State of the art and with a revolutionary
modern approach, Aero-hydrodynamics and the Performance of Sailing
Yachts provides a systematic and completely up to date analysis,
complete with colour photographs and diagrams throughout. An
essential, and long awaited, work for all professional yacht
designers, racing sailors and students of yacht design.

"I first met her in Tollesbury and immediately fell for her. She
was an -Essex girl through and through but not like all the others,
although she was shallow. As far as I could see then there were
only two problems. There was a big age difference-fifty-five years.
She was born in 1904 and I was ten back then in 1959. None of this
mattered to me but the second problem would be trickier: my Dad
loved her too." So begins Nick Imber's affectionate account of his
family's love affair with the barge yacht Nan, who was to give so
much pleasure to three generations, across twenty years from the
1950s to the 1970s. We share Nick's childhood excitement on first
encountering Nan, his teenage pride in skippering her for the very
first time, and his quiet pleasure as his own children take to the
water in her. Nan took good care of them all; whether exploring a
peaceful East Coast river, braving a gale at sea, or drying out on
an idyllic Devon beach, she demonstrates that the humble barge
yacht has so much to offer the young sailing family.
Martin O'Scannall loves the old, the eccentric, the offbeat - the
quirky if you like; the wandering off into byways, the exploration
of half-forgotten snippets of history. And Galicia, his home for
the past decade or more, is ideal territory for indulging that
taste. Galicia is a time warp: rain-swept, isolated, savage and
gentle by turns, as far a cry from the blazing Costas as it is
possible to imagine. This book is a conversation with the past,
conducted in a very old, engineless gaff cutter, armed with the
Admiralty Pilot, a gallant crew, and a sense of the ridiculous. We
encounter, but in unexpected ways, the likes of Drake, Nelson, the
ill-fated HMS Serpent, Celtic myth and legend, and the
reminiscences of those who have gone before, all interspersed with
the business of managing an old yacht in the old way: Walker log,
paper charts and all. Beginning, as he says it has to be, with the
dreaded storm at sea.

'Non-fiction it may be, but it contains all the tension of a thriller' Stuart Alexander, The Independent The Vendee Globe is a 27, 000 mile, single-handed yacht race through the world's most treacherous seas. A four month journey where the sailors pit themselves against icebergs, hurricane-force winds and waves the height of six-storey buildings. On 3 November 1996 sixteen sailors, including Tony Bullimore and Pete Goss set out. Only six crossed the finishing line, six others withdrew or were disqualified for seeking outside help, three were plucked fro m sinking boats while the world watched and one disappeared without tr ace. It is a captivating tale. 'This is a book which vividly transcen ds its immediate brief as a narrative of the race and those who sailed it, and presents a gripping and poetic evocation of the terrible and seductive power of the sea' John Tague, The Independent on Sunday
Three hundred nautical miles from shore, I'm cold and sick and
afraid. I pray for reprieve. I long for solid ground. And I can't
help but ask myself, What the hell was I thinking? When Sue
Williams set sail for the North Atlantic, it wasn't a mid-life
crisis. She had no affinity for the sea. And she didn't have an
adventure-seeking bone in her body. In the wake of a perfect storm
of personal events, it suddenly became clear: her sons were adults
now; they needed freedom to figure things out for themselves; she
had to get out of their way. And it was now or never for her
husband, David, to realize his dream to cross an ocean. So she'd go
too. Ready to Come About is the story of a mother's improbable
adventure on the high seas and her profound journey within, through
which she grew to believe that there is no gift more precious than
the liberty to chart one's own course, and that risk is a good
thing ... sometimes, at least.
