Drawn from the best of Adrian Morgan's entertaining columns musing on the world of traditional boats and the joys of building, sailing and working on them, here is his long-awaited bunkside read. Billed as a 'zen and the art of wooden boatbuilding', it will resonate with classic boat enthusiasts everywhere. Illustrated with evocative watercolour paintings by Charlotte Watters.

Adrian Morgan is an author, journalist, regular contributor to Classic Boat magazine, and he builds and restores wooden boats at his boat building yard on the shores of Loch Broom near Ullapool.
