For a modest man, Tim Davison has done quite well for himself in the sailing world. He has won National and European championships from the 1970s to 2020s, has skippered his yacht from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and has written over 20 books on sailing. Maintaining that sailing is too important to be taken seriously, he has used the bluffing skills described in this book to help propel his racing boats to the front of the fleet and his cruising boats to the warm waters of the Med - and back.
In The Sailor's Bluffing Bible, the reader will learn how to bluff in the yacht club bar, and so manoeuvring himself onto the best yachts and dinghies. Once there he will find useful the tips on what to do, what to wear, what to say, how to stay safe and how to be asked back. While racing or cruising or on a sailing holiday he will be able to hold his own in conversation and stagger his audience with his sailing knowledge.
A perfect book - or gift - for the sailor and would-be sailor, illustrated by nautical cartoonist John Quirk.
