Crammed full of Insightful and sometimes humorous personal experiences, this book takes the reader from lounging on deck with a gin and tonic through to full-on yacht racing where the sailing (and sometimes the drinking) is definitely not for the faint of stomach. Cast off your mooring lines and join Andy as he navigates through the vast area that is yachting. Find out why he was once seen going backwards at full pelt in Portsmouth harbour with the spinnaker billowing out the front. Prepare to be offended at a somewhat risqué joke in chapter nine. The wind is fair and the tide is right. Welcome to the wonderful world of yachting.
