"Nobody captures the magic of sail or conveys the lessons of seamanship like Tom. He's one of sailing's great raconteurs." David Glenn, Yachting World
“Each piece has its merits, each is a wonderful mix of entertainment, humour and outspoken wisdom as Tom delves into the endless fund of stories on a huge variety of boating-related subjects. By the book's end I felt I'd got to know the man better. Most certainly he is very, very talented both as a sailor and scribe.” Sailing Magazine
