    About this audiobook

    Thomas Kydd was promoted to acting lieutenant at the bloody Battle of Camperdown in October 1797. Now, he must sit an examination to confirm his rank. But this is only the first of many obstacles for a man from humble origins. If he is to avoid spending the rest of his career as a tarpaulin officer, he must also become a gentleman.

      Just out of university, six of us decided to enter the annual 360-mile Fair Isle Race from Granton Harbour to Kirkwall Harbour – a big step, as we had no offshore experience and no boat. An old club member seeing out his twilight years from the comfo

      During the survey of our Maxi 84, the PBO Project Boat Maximus, we were warned by a marine surveyor that there was only so much he could tell us about the sails. “To see how good a sail is, you really need to take the boat sailing,” said Ben Sutcliff

      It’s almost 50 years since my wife Roz and I moved aboard our first serious cruising boat. While paying off our overdraft, we lived in a mud berth on a rickety pier attached to what was then Moody’s yard at the top of the Hamble River. It was univers

    • 3/5
      Several improbable outcomes. I liked much of the “fighting sail” sequences, but had to work very hard to “suspend my disbelief” at some plot points.
    • 5/5
      All of these books are captivating and wonderful but this one was so much fun! Once again the performer has outdone himself.
    • 4/5
      At first I wasn't certain this one was going to be as good as the previous books in series, but then, as will all his books, you just don't know where it's going to go. Stockwin has the ability to put you in the time with solid information (more about the sea and sailing in a tall ship then you ever thought you'd know), with an interesting story and characters that you care about and want to know what happens to them. Thomas Kydd is one of the geat characters of contemporay fiction.
