À propos des auteurs

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 the latest navigation technology.

Mike Peyton is the world's best known nautical cartoonist. He has written several books, illustrated many more, and has produced thousands of cartoons for yachting magazines over many years.
