Publisher's Synopsis
With so much coastline, it was almost inevitable that New Zealand would spawn a nation of sailors.;People like Danny, who, aged four, virtually moved aboard his rubber dinghy; aged eight, taught himself to sail a trimaran, and aged twelve bought a near-derelict Hartley 16 and restored it. Also featured is Duncan and his trimaran,"Krisis", which won the first Coastal Classic in 1982. Much slower, but no less interesting, is "Destiny", a pirate ship that runs on waste canola oil collected from takeaway outlets.
