Description
Up Aloft with Old Harryis another wonderful collection of Des Sleightholme's batty observations on the sailing scene.
Wickedly perceptive, Sleightholme attacks pomposity with scarifyinggusto, taking the mickey out of everything and everybody afloat. Suchtopics as leaking boats, dragging anchors, the charms of twin keels,the Fastnet Race, moving house by boat, chartering and, of course, theperils of going aloft, are handled with pitiless relish, while theimprobable yet all too familiar character, Old Harry, appears withregularity like some pantomime devil in wrinkled red tights.
