A message from the editor

Over the years I've written a lot about nautical matters, mainly for my own amusement. Some of it has been published, but never in any of the mainstream yachting publications, most of which are only interested in articles which promote someone's commercial interest. In fact I have largely given up reading glossy magazines, which mainly seem to recycle tired old stories and have usually given up on any pretensions to accuracy.

This blog started out in 2010 as a place for me to publish my own musings, but I have always been delighted to share the space with anyone who wishes to contribute something on the main themes, the history of yacht and boat design and construction, technical issues, anecdotes and images. This has resulted in my receiving a great deal of material, from historical data to family reminiscences that in most cases would eventually have been lost.

The blog does not accept advertising and is totally non-commercial; the feedback from readers is the only reward.

Contacting me

I am keen that this blog should be available as a place where all sorts of nautical material with a more or less Scottish connection can be published and am happy to post items sent in by others. If you wish to contact me please do so on ewangkennedy@gmail.com
