What humorous book or present for new boat owner?

[Dyflin]

I have a friend who is about to take delivery of his first boat. I would like to send him a small token of ridicule (that won't be obscure).

Any suggestions?

Sods Law of Sailing.

Absolutely essential.

Out of print (I think) but regularly available in good nick via Amazon

Try "Narrow Boat To Carcassonne" by Terry Darlington.

I found it a very amusing read.

Gordon Brown's "Guide for Bankrupts"
