Yachting Monthly confessions: yachtsmen own up to their sailing sins

This is a wonderful cherry-picked collection of humiliating misadventures from the enduringly popular Confessional column of Yachting Monthly magazine.

For over 25 years, yachtsmen have clamoured to tell the worldabout their most embarrassing exploits and their most shamefulblunders, and the cream of the crop are collected together here in thehope that the rest of us can learn from their mistakes instead of ourown - or at least have a good laugh at their expense!

Shipwrecks, strandings, mutiny, getting locked in the lavatory...you couldn't make them up.

Counted among the contributors are no lessthan four former editors of Yachting Monthly, which goes to prove that worse things really do happen at sea!

Accompanied by cartoons from the inimitable Mike Peyton, this collection deserves a place at every bunkside.
