[alberg30] sailing books

[Gordon White]

From: Gordon White <gewhite at crosslink.net>

   If you're reading Riddle of the Sands, try John Buchan's "Thirty-Nine Steps" or some of Nevil Shute. Shute was an aeronautical engineer, sports car racer and small boat sailor who wrote books to relax from the stress of his engineering work. "Trustee from the Toolroom" is my favorite and has a fair amount of small boat sailing in it as does "Landfall," "Marazan," "The Breaking Wave," Stephen Morris" and some others. Of course he wrote "On the Beach" and "No Highway, which were made into movies.
    Others are Alain  Gerbault's "Fight of the Firecrest," Chay Blyth's "The Impossible Voyage" and Peter Heaton's  "Cruising" and  "Sailing."
