Trevor Boult became involved in sailing from pre-teenage years onwards. Experiencing sailing a broad range of craft, from small racing dinghies to a mighty sail training schooner, notable ketches, adventure-craft for people with special needs, the acquisition of a modern interpretation of a traditional sailing coble, painting the Norfolk broads on a classic Wherry yacht, and a boat which mirrored the local historic adventures of the Swallows & Amazons, qualifying in wooden boatbuilding, and working for a famous boatbuilder. Enduring friendships were forged. In an engaging style, the author wishes to enthuse a wide readership to the many and magical joys to be derived from sailing - in all its forms.
