shrimpy sails again

[halyardmonkey.]

I ready Shane Acton's first book and enjoyed it so much that I want to read the next. However, it's out of print and copies are trading at £35 or so. A bit much I think.... However, I read the first through downloading a copy from one site or another and wondered if the same can be found for Shrimpy sails again??? I haven't managed to find it so far but perhaps someone else has???

 

[Daydream believer]

Didn't know he had sailed in the first place!!
Seems he did & is making a habit of it

Sorry, never seen an electronic copy - free, pirate or paid. If you find one, please post - I would love to read it!

I have always wondered what happened to Iris after they returned to this country - does Shane's family have any knowledge of her?

Loved reading the first book.
My mate has a Caprice, and its a great wee boat to sail. Its a bit narrow when your in the cockpit and heeling far, but a cracking boat!

I'd also dearly love to read the second book. Can someone e-mail me a copy too please if I PM them. I can bung some cash the RNLI's way no problem at all. Be delighted to!!

Thanks

i cant really help.
i used to work with Shane`s sister Janice. Janice & her sister have sole rights to his estate.
it only came to light who she was when i mentioned sailing one day

Does anyone have the second book available online? I have a copy of the first book, but would be interested in the second one if it's around?

The kind person who offered is going to be sorry they ever spoke up! if it does ever find its way onto a web site, I would love to hear about it too!

 

[Even Chance]

Got the email Sailorman, thanks very much.
It is unfortunately the first book, not the second, so sorry. Im going to read it again right now though!
Still looking for the second book then if anybody has it?

 

[Wandering Star]

Not sure this is helpful or not but I have a copy of Shrimpy Sails Again. If anyone has the facility for scanning it into a .pdf file I'll be happy to post the book to them?

Cheers, Brian.

That would be a task with a bound book. If it could be unstapled or whatever, I could do it at work. With so much interest you would think there would be a market for a reprint of both books. I enjoyed the first one very much.

Your local library, assuming you have one, should be able to find you a copy through their own contacts or interlibrary loan.

 

[monotonyonthebunty]

my dad has a Caprice, a lovely little boat, hence I am interested, lol

Likewise I've got a Caprice IV and Shrimpy, but I'd love to get hold of Shrimpy Sails Again. Sadly opportunities to sail v. v. few as I'm a full time carer
