Whynott - a new one for the list- thanks. wanderer is great, re read many
times. Sterling Hayden was an intriguing guy, lived through interesting times.
Voyage is very good too.

All,
One of my favorite reads that involves sailing and boat building is Douglass
Whynott's "A Unit of Water, A Unit of Time", which is a non-fiction account
of the last boat built by Joel White at Brooklin Boatyard in Maine (the son
of writer EB White as well as being a prolific naval architect). The book
is a quiet book, best enjoyed in front of a fireplace with a few Benjamin
Mendlowitz calendars and coffee table books available for reference photos
of the various boats mentioned in the text.

Andrew,
If you enjoy Sterling Hayden's Wanderer, look for a copy of his novel
"Voyage". IIRC it is set in 1900 and begins on a dark and stormy night in
Boston harbor. In short it is a story of a clipper ship hauling coal around
the horn to San Francisco.
For years I carried paperback copies of Wanderer or Voyage to read on
offshore passages and never got tired of re-reading them.
