The Shell Channel Pilot by Tom Cunliffe
For more than 80 years The Shell Channel Pilot has been the ultimate authority on English Channel navigation and pilotage.
Tom Cunliffe learnt how to sail in a 22 ft gaff sloop as a teenager on the Norfolk Broads. After nearly being killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 19 he read Law at university, but chose not to enter the profession. Instead he worked as Mate on a coasting merchant vessel before chartering and delivering yachts. He has been a sailing tutor for 35 years, at one point running his own sailing school in the south of France, and has been a qualified Yachtmaster examiner since 1978. Cunliffe has been a regular contributor to Yachting Monthly, Yachting World and SAIL magazine for many years. A professional writer since 1986, Tom Cunliffe has won the Best Book of the Sea award twice, for Topsail and Battleaxe and Hand, Reef and Steer.[4] In 2010 he presented the award-winning six-part BBC documentary series, The Boats that Built Britain.
