About the Author
Tom Cunliffe learnt how to sail in a 22 ft gaff sloop as a teenager on the Norfolk Broads. After nearly being killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 19 he read Law at university, but chose not to enter the profession. Instead he worked as Mate on a coasting merchant vessel before chartering and delivering yachts. He has been a sailing tutor for 35 years, at one point running his own sailing school in the south of France, and has been a qualified Yachtmaster examiner since 1978. Cunliffe has been a regular contributor to Yachting Monthly, Yachting World and SAIL magazine for many years. A professional writer since 1986, Tom Cunliffe has won the Best Book of the Sea award twice, for Topsail and Battleaxe and Hand, Reef and Steer.[4] In 2010 he presented the award-winning six-part BBC documentary series, The Boats that Built Britain.
