by Maurice Griffiths

i just finished reading this excellent little book this morning, a
quick read of 190 pages it can be knocked over easily in a day. This
book is a series of short stories spanning some 50 years from
19020's-1970's written by maurice Griffiths who was the editor of the
british periodical 'yachting monthly'. The stories are fairly light
and dont go into much technical detail, but they were enjoyable just
the same.

Yes this is a great little book. He also wrote a similar one
called 'Lure of the Swatchways.' One of the things that
struck me while reading it, how much boats & the gear have
changed over the years & decades... but other things have
remained exactly the same.
