Maritime Entente CordialeReviewed by Hermit of Holliwell on 16 Apr 2015
Being interested in all the fishing sailing boats in Normandy, Brittany and the French Atlantic coast, I wanted to learn more about their counterparts of Southern England, where I often sailed myself. In addition, I am the happy owner of a Cornish Crabber 24' and wished to know what her origins could be. I read this book with great interest. Thank you to Mike Smylie for having written it.
