Description

There were too many degrading disasters, mortifying mishaps and groan-worthy gaffes for one collection, so following on from Yachting Monthly's Confessions, here is another wonderful collection of humiliating misadventures from the enduringly popular Confessional column of Yachting Monthly magazine. For over 25 years, yachtsmen have clamoured to tell the world about their most embarrassing exploits and their most shameful blunders, so here is another crop of entertaining examples, so that the rest of us can learn from other people's mistakes instead of our own - or at least have a good laugh at their expense! Accompanied once more by cartoons from the inimitable Mike Peyton, this collection helps to prove that worse things really do happen at sea!

Author Biography

Paul Gelder is editor of Yachting Monthly magazine, the UK's leading yachting magazine. 'The Confessional' is one of the first pages that readers turn to each month and, enhanced with hilariously appropriate cartoons by Mike Peyton, looks set to remain as popular for years to come.

Reviews

'It is the perfect pick-me-up for the day when you are depressed because the weather simply won't allow you to 'get out there' and sail.' * Sailing Magazine (January 2010) *
