The Art of Coarse Sailing

[Praxinoscope]

Just finished re-reading Michael Greens The Art of Coarse Sailing, unfortunately now out of print. Read it first about 50 year ago and it is still as hilarious as I thought it was then.
If you want a numerous story of a week sailing on the Norfolk Broads this is it.

I’m sure it needs updated to take account of the myriad of anchors available nowadays!

It’s a shame Michael Green died last year I think, an update would have been worth a read.
