As the used boat market continues to grow, the demand for
Kretschmer's wisdom is higher than ever. His "Used Boat Notebook"
has long been one of the most popular columns in Sailing magazine;
each month he provides a hard hitting, detailed review of a
well-known boat, from trailer sailers like the O'Day 23 to coastal
cruisers like the Ericson 35 to blue water classics like the
Valiant 40. These thoroughly researched reviews include owner
insights, guides to common problems, and suggestions for where to
find parts, advice, and support. A lively writing style and unique
perspective complement 200,000 miles of offshore sailing
experience. A special section gives detailed recommendations for
'ten great and affordable used boats to sail around the world.'
Frank Laskier was born 1912 and lived his early years in the
suburbs of Liverpool. As a teenager, Frank was an avid reader of
Conrad and Masefield and had a romantic view of the "call of the
sea". One day he decided to lie about his age and run away from
home aboard a ship destined for Australia. Laskier worked on many
ships in the merchant navy and it was his experiences during the
Second World War that brought him to the attention of the BBC.
Frank was asked to broadcast a number of talks on his experiences.
This book is a transcript of those radio talks first published in
1941. Through this authentic voice of an ordinary man - not a
historian, or a politician, or a great admiral - but an ordinary
man, we can be reminded of the importance, bravery and sacrifice of
the merchant navy in keeping Britain supplied during the Second
World War. From the 1941 cover: 'We are proud to announce this book
by Frank Laskier, "a sailor, an Englishman," the merchant seaman
who gave the ever-memorable postscript after the BBC news on the
first Sunday in October. The millions of listeners who heard that
deeply moving voice will welcome an opportunity to read many more
stories of the war at sea, which Laskier tells with the
incomparable vividness of simple truth, and which made him a great
broadcast speaker overnight. Laskier sounds, too, the note of
victory that will bring a universal response-"Remember what we have
been through; remember what we're going through; and fight and
fight, and never, never, never, give in!" ' The publisher of this
new edition has included an introduction and explanatory footnotes,
as well as an appendix listing the ships mentioned in the book
along with their descriptions.
Part of the small format Y series (A2 size), this replicates sheet
2400.3 from the 2400 West Country Chart Pack
Under his authorship, this edition has been restructured to reflect
the changing nature of passages across the North Sea. As well as a
consideration of the various Traffic Separation Schemes, routes
take into account the many new offshore windfarms and oil and gas
extraction platforms. As its name suggests, the emphasis of this
pilot is on the passage routes, whether taking a more direct line
between the UK and the Continent or incorporating hops along the
East Coast and the adjacent coasts of France, Belgium and Holland.
Pilotage is included for a selection of key ports. Updated plans
and numerous new photographs help to illustrate the key features to
help guide you across this challenging yet rewarding stretch of
water.
