It’s not so much a novel as a manual for action. Most important of all, this is a book that feels very real, and like all the best adventure books, makes you want to get out there yourself to experience the landscape, the weather and the journey. This is sea-spray in the face, cramped quarters, basic grub and oilskins. The voyage of the “ugly little 5-tonner” Dulcibella described here isn’t a romantic misty-eyed view of yachting. It is, though, a book that has never been out of print, is much loved by small boat sailors everywhere and contains breathtakingly great descriptions of real-life sailing. It’s a story about a world of Edwardian gentlemanly pursuits and crumbling European empires that pretty much got washed away by the Great War. It’s not exactly an easy read, with quite a lot of archaic language and long sentences, and there’s also a certain amount of casual sexism and racism. Published in 1903, it’s a classic ‘ripping yarn’ about two men – Carruthers & Davies – uncovering a dastardly German plot whilst sailing around the Baltic and the Frisian Islands.
