To sail a yacht at sea is an experience of being at one with the elements of wind and water. A yacht is a living thing when it is in its element and responds always in sympathy with them. It heels under the weight of a breeze and cuts and slides up, over, and through the waves in a beautiful motion. This is a book of thirty drawings and watercolors that cover a day of racing, from heading out of the harbor to being safely anchored at the end of the day and from the drama of the start, through the beat to windward, to straining under the pull of a full spinnaker, and finally, the finish.

"Poisonously funny." - The New York TimesThe Company of Knaves is a hilarious, satirical and very black novel from highly acclaimed author Simon Shaw.Philip Fletcher, actor-murderer, is thrown into a jealous rage when he hears that his most hated rival is up for a knighthood.

The death of a gossipy fellow actor and the subsequent threat of scandal to his family and colleagues opens up a tantalising possibility for Fletcher: he could always blackmail his way to a knighthood. Such a course, though, is perilous, involving undercover penetration of an S & M night-club. Is Fletcher up to the job? To what lengths will ambition take him? And is murder on the agenda - yet again?
