4.0 out of 5 stars
Classics Tristan Jones
I read Outward Leg several years ago and it inspired me to read just about all of his other books. His no nonsense, slighly irreverent style appeals to me as well as the fact that he has a great sense of humanity. A good book and a good read.

3.0 out of 5 stars
OK
According to Jones, sailing is very uncomfortable and challenging, at least in open sea, ..noisy etc. He had a trimaran and said a monohull would be worse. I absolutely hate how sailors write with no thought for the lay reader, I want to learn and his vocabulary is foreign at times, when talking about boat details. That is so stupid to me! Why can't each writer...

I absolutely hate how sailors write with no thought for the lay reader, I want to learn and his vocabulary is foreign at times, when talking about boat details. That is so stupid to me! Why can't each writer define within the text each term, instead of forcing novices to skim over it. There are not only sailors in the world! Why limit your readership so much! At least have a glossory for all those terms! He just lost me and that defeats learning.

This seller should be dropped from Amazon.com. He has not shipped the ordered item and has not responded to my inquiry to him....but he did take my money. Give him a second chance?, no way, look at the negative reviews.
