<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of observations on the sailing scene.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Up Aloft with Old Harry is another wonderful collection of Des Sleightholme's batty observations on the sailing scene.</p> <p/><p>Wickedly perceptive, Sleightholme attacks pomposity with scarifying<br>gusto, taking the mickey out of everything and everybody afloat. Such<br>topics as leaking boats, dragging anchors, the charms of twin keels, <br>the Fastnet Race, moving house by boat, chartering and, of course, the<br>perils of going aloft, are handled with pitiless relish, while the<br>improbable yet all too familiar character, Old Harry, appears with<br>regularity like some pantomime devil in wrinkled red tights.</p> <p/><p>'Sleightholme is the man to make you laugh' Yachting Monthly</p> <p/><p>'Nobody is safe from Sleightholme's wit and wisdom' Motor Boat & Yachting</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Des Sleightholme was editor of Yachting Monthly for nearly 20 years. His Old Harry's Dog-Watch was an instant bestseller when published by Adlard Coles Nautical. He died in 2003.</p>
