The Ups and Downs of Sailing

The Ups and Downs of Sailing 
Richard Bishop is a man with a passion and an ambition. His passion? Sailing. His ambition? To compete in the single-handed transatlantic race.

Moving from London to Looe with his young family in the 1970s in order to pursue his passion more readily, frustratingly his transatlantic ambition was thwarted by a change in the rules. However, this didn't ground him. Far from it.

Within these pages, sail with Richard and his son Paul on a perilous voyage to Ireland and back, meet the many friends he made and characters he encountered along the Devon and Cornwall coasts and on his summer cruises down the west coast of France, and discover how one man's love of sailing could take over his life.

Even if you don't know a mizzen mast from a mainsail, this humorous and engrossing account will give you a taste for saltwater and a desire to feel the wind in your hair.
