Uffa's Sailing Seamanship and Yacht Construction

Post by JimC »

Just noticed that this is available in Kindle format for a tenner. This is probably the best of Uffa's 30s books, featuring Avenger, the Canoe Challenge Cup and the cross channel trip to France with the sea Scouts, not to mention a yacht called Britannia...

I'm lucky enough to have a hardback copy [5th ed]. It is indeed a very good book.
