In celebration of  #WorldBookDa y 2020, I am revising my list of top ten books about sailing and adding to it. What's your favourite book about sailing?

My (Revised) Top 10 Books About Sailing - The Long Way (The Longue Route) - Sailing Alone Around the World - Perfect Storm - Wanderer - Once is Enough - Maiden Voyage - The Riddle of the Sands - As long as it's fun - A Voyage for Madmen - Survive the Savage Sea A few more for good measure. - The Summer Isles by Philip Marsden - Lord Jim by Josep
