Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a selection of Tom Cunliffe’s funniest, wisest and most thought-provoking writing from the pages of Yachting Monthly. Tom’s love of language and sense of humour shine through as he recalls the wealth of sinners and saints he has met on docksides from Southampton to South America, Greenwich to Greenland and Newtown to New York. He has a gift for capturing the magic of sail and finding pearls of practical wisdom in the most unlikely nautical adventures.

A Viking voyage to the New World in a 70-year-old classic boat with Arctic weather and a unique cast of characters, overseen by the ghost of Eirik the Red. When Tom Cunliffe sails for America down the Norse Atlantic trail, his crew includes his four-year-old daughter, a soldier and a sheepshearer. Guided by the ancient Viking sagas, their storm-tossed passage leads from Norway to the Faeroe Islands, Iceland and the ice off Greenland’s Cape Farewell. There, the weather deals a deadly card. Can they sail their venerable ship against the wind to Leif Eirikson’s fjord in Newfoundland?
