This is a book with no practical purpose whatsoever. As any fan of
Dave's would probably guess, a book by him won't make you a better
sailor, and it won't provide any instruction on boat maintenance.
But it will entertain - his light but observational writings tap
the rich well of all those things that sailors know but few dare
admit. The Impractical Boat Owner is a collection of Dave's columns
for Practical Boat Owner magazine, expanded for the book, and with
additional 'Lessons Not Learned' hints and tips boxes, all
accompanied by Jake Kavanagh's wonderful cartoons. Taking us from
Dave's first flounderings afloat to more recent, er, flounderings
afloat, themes covered include: - first attempts at sailing - how
not to sail singlehanded - mysteries of maintenance - how not to
sail with a dog - the impenetrable mysteries of navigation and
weather - how not to race The Impractical Boatowner is an antidote
to all that's written about expensive shiny new yachts,
self-improvement, the quest for qualifications and practical
skills.
