Description
The Ian Nicolson Trilogy tells the story of an extraordinary journey by sea. Ian Nicolson, a yachtsman and naval architect, recounts his adventures as he sailed from England to Vancouver, Canada, via the Panama Canal.
He shares the tale of how he built a new yacht in just weeks, using a bare hull found in a shipyard, and then set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. The trilogy also describes Ian's subsequent journey back home, hitch-hiking along the Canadian coast, and his next project: building an experimental ketch with his wife, Morag.
With a masterful touch, Ian Nicolson brings his stories to life through this engaging account, accompanied by useful drawings of constructional and rigging details. A fascinating read for anyone interested in sailing, naval architecture, or adventure travel.
