About this listen

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.

A string of magazine articles published as a book but none the worse for this and makes for easy listening for the armchair sailor.

One of those books that works great to have on in the background on a long journey. Personally I didn't find anything that wanted to make me listen as the only thing I did but it was a great companion in the car for a few days and I did learn quite a few things.

Good time passer

Excellent book made better by the fact he narrates his own work. A really nice chap I once had a conversation with at the Beaulieu Boat Jumble. I would reccomend this as a read to anyone.
