'The inventions, the innovations, the stories, the surprises. A
combination of history, reference and entertainment - something for
every seafarer and many others too.' - Vice Admiral Sir Tim
Laurence People have been sailing for thousands of years, but we've
come some distance from longboats and clippers. How did we arrive
here? In fifty tales of inventors and innovations, Sails, Skippers
and Sextants looks at the history of one of our most enjoyable
pastimes, from the monarch who pioneered English yachting to the
engineer who invented sailboards. The stories are sometimes
inspiring, usually amusing and often intriguing - so grab your
lifejacket, it's going to be quite an adventure.
