Testimonials:
‘How refreshing it is to read honest opinions on yacht design and rigs, without the author obviously having to cow-tow to the company that places the adverts every month, and therefore pay everyone’s wages!
I burst out laughing many times at your stories and anecdotes, they are so funny to read and make the book very personable.’ Richard Hobson
