About this listen
Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a selection of Tom Cunliffe’s funniest, wisest and most thought-provoking writing from the pages of Yachting Monthly. Tom’s love of language and sense of humour shine through as he recalls the wealth of sinners and saints he has met on docksides from Southampton to South America, Greenwich to Greenland and Newtown to New York. He has a gift for capturing the magic of sail and finding pearls of practical wisdom in the most unlikely nautical adventures. Sailing, Yachts and Yarns is a lively miscellany of a wit, wisdom and wonder.
It will make you laugh and make you think – and make you want to cast off to enjoy the delights of life afloat.

Fellow admirer of all things Sea related.
Mr Cunliffe’s ability to share his tales on and off the water is fantastic, I enjoyed every minute and urge others to do the same.

laugh out loud observations
easy to listen to, witty, dry but usually on the mark commentary on a wide variety of topics. Good food for thought, honestly delivered.

Informative and fun sea tales
A string of magazine articles published as a book but none the worse for this and makes for easy listening for the armchair sailor.

Wonderful
I’m old enough and have been around boats enough to find memory after memory rekindled. Sadly I never sailed as far or as wide as Tom has but his warmth, humour, knowledge, experience held me throughout. Add in his dislike of poorly applied authority and his evident respect and concern for our planet there is a lot to encourage us to think about how we lead our lives without hectoring or lecturing. I am delighted that I selected this book.

A natural storyteller
If you've seen Tony on TV or YouTube you'll know he's a natural storyteller with a evocative voice. This collection of short stories is great listening, even for non-sailors.

East Listening
nice easy listen of a string of antidotes and thoughts. I enjoy his writing when reading the pilot details going in to port
