22/12/2002 Publisher: Seafarer Books, 2002 .
The first time I have read anything by this author but the publisher has never let me down yet, and doesn't this time either. The sub title, "A charm restored and sailed to the Western Isles"
sums this book up well.
At first glance another 'found it, fixed it , sailed it' book about a wooden boat restoration, this book is much more. The author's struggle to restore a wreck , and save it from a fate worse than death (as a garden feature!) are interesting enough alone. The second part, the narrative of a cruise in the west of Scotland, adds so much to the bare bones advice of the pilot books that it's worth the cover price on it's own.
A gem of a book. - IW
