About the Authors

David Fairhall has enjoyed sailing for over 50 years in everything from Dragons to Thames barges. He has raced offshore and made several ocean deliveries, and now sails from Maldon on the East Coast where he lives.

Peter Rodgers has sailed his own cruising boats for many years and has done three Fastnet Races, two as navigator. He passed his Yachtmaster Offshore before electronics took over the chart table, but has a keen interest in the benefits and limitations of modern navigation technology.

Mike Peyton was the world’s best-known nautical cartoonist. He wrote and illustrated numerous books and contributed thousands of cartoons to yachting magazines over many years.
