Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a selection of Tom Cunliffe’s funniest, wisest and most thought-provoking writing from the pages of Yachting Monthly. Tom’s love of language and sense of humour shine through as he recalls the wealth of sinners and saints he has met on docksides from Southampton to South America, Greenwich to Greenland and Newtown to New York. He has a gift for capturing the magic of sail and finding pearls of practical wisdom in the most unlikely nautical adventures. Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a lively miscellany of a wit, wisdom and wonder.

It will make you laugh and make you think – and make you want to cast off to enjoy the delights of life afloat.

You don’t have to listen long to ascertain the author Tom Cunliffe packs an individualist ego and his POVs bare this out. But in due time you come to know he has been on a boat or two and sailed through some snot to arrive at his pulpit. And soon enough I noticed that the stuff that drives him to it is mostly the same as it is for other Mariners. A ridiculously complex yardstick to measure one’s worth, a bar or cove to share and commune and an opportunity to see the world as only a precious few ever have or will. If you’re planning to take off someday as I am you’ll get a few veteran nuggets as well.
