Working Sail, A life In Wooden Boats - Luke Powell

Over the last 20 years Luke Powell has almost single-handedly pioneered a revival in the building of traditional pilot cutters in Great Britain, and a book celebrating his influence on boatbuilding has long been overdue. Happily, he also has a flair for storytelling, both when looking back over a rich if unconventional life lived to the full, and when discribing the long struggle to win acceptance for the wooden boats on which he established his reputation.
