Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is a book with no practical purpose whatsoever. As any fan of Daves would probably guess, a book by him wont make you a better sailor, and it wont provide any instruction on boat maintenance. But it will entertain his light but observational writings tap the rich well of all those things that sailors know but few dare admit. The Impractical Boat Owner is a collection of Daves columns for Practical Boat Owner magazine, expanded for the book, and with additional 'Lessons Not Learned' hints and tips boxes, all accompanied by Jake Kavanagh's wonderful cartoons. Taking us from Daves first flounderings afloat to more recent, er, flounderings afloat, themes covered include:- first attempts at sailing - how not to sail singlehanded- mysteries of maintenance- how not to sail with a dog- the impenetrable mysteries of navigation and weather- how not to raceThe Impractical Boatowner is an antidote to all thats written about expensive shiny new yachts, self-improvement, the quest for qualifications and practical skills. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR008830276

The Impractical Boat Owner: Tales and Trials from Years of Floundering Afloat
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
