Bunkside Reading

Books for reading rather than reference. This collection brings together memoirs, biographies, travel stories, nautical fiction, maritime humour, photography and art. Good for off-watch hours, rainy afternoons in the cockpit, or anyone buying a present for a sailor.

The memoirs section includes accounts from round-the-world sailors, cruisers and racers. Nautical fiction covers everything from Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester to modern sailing thrillers. The travel stories section has voyage narratives and destination writing with a maritime angle. Use the filters on this page or the main menu above to find the right kind of reading.
