There were too many degrading disasters, mortifying mishaps and groan-worthy gaffes for one collection, so following on from Yachting Monthly's Confessions, here is another wonderful collection of humiliating misadventures from the enduringly popular Confessional column of Yachting Monthly magazine.
For over 25 years, yachtsmen have clamoured to tell the world about their most embarrassing exploits and their most shameful blunders, so here is another crop of entertaining examples, so that the rest of us can learn from other people's mistakes instead of our own - or at least have a good laugh at their expense!
Accompanied once more by cartoons from the inimitable Mike Peyton, this collection helps to prove that worse things really do happen at sea!
Paul Gelder, editor of Yachting Monthly for 10 years - from 2002 to February 2012 - is no stranger to disaster at sea. He has edited two best-selling anthologies of true-life sailing disasters, Total Loss, plus its companion volume, Sunk Without Trace (Adlard Coles Nautical). He has also written three books on round the world sailing events, including The Loneliest Race, covering the 1994-95 BOC Around Alone race, and Gipsy Moth IV: A Legend Sails Again (Wiley Nautical). He was presented with the Ocean Cruising Club's Award of Merit in 2005 for launching the campaign to save Sir Francis Chichester's famous ketch Gipsy Moth IV, which sailed around the world on the 40th anniversary of her first epic voyage.
