Two outstanding sailing adventures in one special editionThe author of this book, Keble Chatterton was a well known and prolific writer on the history of the age of sail. He was of course an experienced seaman, but this book concerns his person experiences before the Great War sailing around the British coast, her adjacent waters and the harbours and coastlines of her Northern European neighbours. These are two gentle accounts of yachting for pure pleasure which will be a joy to fellow enthusiasts and those who love simply to read about the sea. Whilst devoid of espionage, much of these recollections will put the reader in mind of ’The Riddle of the Sands’.
