Short Description

Published by Herbert Jenkins, London a first edition 1952. Octavo, 199 pages well illustrated and with endpaper maps. Very good condition albeit some age given its age.

The Pye’s purchased Moonraker for twenty five pounds. She had been built at the end of the 19th Century and the builder had been paid an additional fifteen pounds then to make her “Extra strong”. She had been used as a fishing vessel so the Pye’s had to fit out the cabin and make quite a few improvements before they set off on an adventure of a lifetime.

They head out from Fowey south to the Canary Islands and across to Barbados and skirt the northern West Indies to the Bahma’s and Florida before a return voyage through huge seas via Bermuda and the Azores.

North Atlantic in a converted fishing boat – The Royal Cruising Club’s … outstanding Cruise of the Year.
