Product Description

Product Description
Jon Wainwright's love of the sea, and in particular for his boat "Deva", shines through cruising, racing and fishing in a traditional wooden boat over 38 years. His experience in organizing the best rig for the conditions is matched by his understanding of boat construction and the changes he implemented on "Deva". This is a lifetime adventure between man and boat with many trials and tribulations for both, capturing some of the best elements of traditional sail. The story moves through a backcloth of change from the area of Liverpool Docks to Felixstowe and the forging of strong links with Holland in joint classic boat events.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Gift, 26 Jul 2002
By A Customer
Having spent ages trying to find a present for a sailing type I found Only So Many Tides and promptly sat down and read it myself from cover to cover. I've since bought another two as presents - the first was so thumbed I had to keep it! The book has lots of sailing (obviously) but there is also a story - not of one epic voyage - but of many incident packed 'trips'. The author even manages to make the technical bits readable - no mean feat. Only critisism is that the author, like Jack London, should have omitted the female interest. However, a very readable book and a great gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Mistley Magician tells all, 17 Dec 2001
By A Customer
An outstanding account of one man's love for his boat, and his true avocation. While variously described as an architect, etc, Jon Wainwright is perhaps best known as one of the primary leading lights of the East Coast Old Gaffers Association, and as such has a vast following (literally, as well as figuratively!) up and down the Anglian coast of Britain. His local knowledge and sailing ability in the area is second to none, and yet has always been a very quiet and modest man about his abilities and his achievements. This latest book goes far in describing how and when he managed to pick up such skills in this ultra-modern age, despite the trials and setbacks that come to all of us in time. If you have ever thought about what it might be like to start an affair with a classic wooden boat (and there is no other way to adequately describe it!), you need go no further than 'Only So Many Tides.'
