Clarence Jones is a writer, inventor, tinkerer, photographer,
sailor. He was born in the middle of the Great Depression. When
something broke, you fixed it. There was no money for a repair man.
He learned as a youngster how to design and make things that worked
just as well as those in the store that cost a lot. His inventive
creativity was a great asset in his careers as an award-winning
newspaper and television reporter. One of the biggest challenges
was often figuring out how to hide a camera or a recording device
that would capture the evidence to prove his target's guilt. So
when he became a sailor in mid-life, it was just natural for him to
design gadgets that made his boat work better. The impetus for some
of his projects would be a magazine article about a new device for
sailboats. Within a day or so, Clarence would have a working
prototype that would do the same thing. For a tiny fraction of what
the new gadget cost. This book is a collection of those projects,
many of them first published in sailing magazines. The guidelines
for his sailboat projects - and the writing about them - have
always been: Simplicity Ease of assembly Minimal cost Lots of
pictures Where to get the materials That's what this book is all
about.
