There were too many degrading disasters, mortifying mishaps and groan-worthy gaffes for one collection, so following on from Yachting Monthly’s Confessions, here is another wonderful collection of humiliating misadventures from the enduringly popular Confessional column of Yachting Monthly magazine. For over 25 years, yachtsmen have clamoured to tell the world about their most embarrassing exploits and their most shameful blunders, so here is another crop of entertaining examples, so that the rest of us can learn from other people’s mistakes instead of our own – or at least have a good laugh at their expense! Accompanied once more by cartoons from the inimitable Mike Peyton, this collection helps to prove that worse things really do happen at sea!

Author: Julia Jones
Narrator: Mark Meadows
Several years ago, Julia Jones was searching through long-forgotten items stored at her house and discovered some suitcases of old written material, which turned out to be accounts by her father of his experiences in the RNVSR (Royal Naval Volunteer Supplementary Reserve). She realised that as a child she’d met some of the people mentioned, and although she was too young to truly know them, these youthful impressions spurred her on to rediscovery and understanding. In this absorbing book, Julia tells the compelling stories of the yachtsmen. Some were famous (such as Sir Peter Scott), others were wealthy (such as August Courtauld, who returned his pay to help with the war effort), but the majority were just ‘ordinary’ professionals, such as publishers, lawyers and advertising agents, who signed up because they loved sailing.
