Description:
Laverham, Suffolk: Terence Dalton Limited, 1977. Now an experienced sailor tells of sailing the inland water ways some twenty-five years ago, when cars were still a luxury and boats regarded as eccentricity. His is a love story where " Springflower" filled his life with passionate activity, but nearly drove everyone else to distraction. It is a lighthearted book full of amusing incidents and experience which contains no epic voyages into uncharted waters, nor could it be described as a manual of seamanship. But it will delight those who sail....or even dream of sailing.... the rivers, canals and estuaries of this country. (England). Very well illustrated. Illustration sections are listed. Many chapter headings and tail drawings provided. The lovely photo sections are all on heavier semi-gloss paper. Full wrap-around dust jacket painting by Chris Heywood. The dust jacket front panel reveals small chip to top edge and price-sticker removal imprint. Book and price-intact dust jacket remain… Read More

Camden, Maine: International Marine Publishing Company (1978) . Here is a practical study of ocean passage-making, using a cruise across the Atlantic as a case history. The book tells of a cruise in the Ohlson 38 sloop "Kelpie" from Gibson Island, Maryland to Fayal in the Azores in the late spring and early summer in 1975. The family had kept detailed records of their plans and preparations for the passage, and that material, combined with journals kept by each member of the family at sea, was assembled and analyzed and has become a book that can be described as a combination "How-We-Did-It" and "How-To-Do-It". It is well illustrated by figures and photos. This is Richard Henderson's tenth book on sailing. Deep blue cloth boards....gilt title print to spine. No ownership markings. Soiling to fore edge and one corner bumped to rear board. Map endpapers to front. Photo dust jacket. A sound, square copy.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good.
