An Experimental Cruise, Single-Handed: In The Procyon, Seven-Ton Lugger is a book written by Richard Turrell McMullen in 1880. The book is a detailed account of a single-handed sailing trip that the author took on his seven-ton lugger, named Procyon. McMullen’s journey was an experiment to test his own abilities as a sailor and to see if he could handle sailing alone for an extended period of time. The book is written in a narrative style, with McMullen describing his experiences and observations as he sails along the coast of England and Scotland. He encounters various challenges along the way, including storms, rough seas, and equipment failures. McMullen also describes the natural beauty of the coastline and the wildlife he encounters, as well as the people he meets in the small towns and villages he visits.Throughout the book, McMullen reflects on the joys and difficulties of sailing alone, discussing the mental and physical challenges he faced during his journey. He also provides practical advice for other sailors who may be considering a similar trip. An Experimental Cruise, Single-Handed: In The Procyon, Seven-Ton Lugger is a fascinating account of a solo sailing journey in the late 19th century. It provides an insight into the challenges and rewards of sailing alone, as well as a glimpse into the coastal landscapes and communities of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
