“Sea Legs: A Boat's Story”

by Simon Bliss

“Sea Legs: A Boat's Story” was written by Simon Bliss about how he came to own and sail a boat called Rivale halfway around the world in the 1970’s.

Sea Legs is not just a story about a boat - it is a boat's story. The book starts with Rivale as the narrator during her construction in post-war Holland. The tale is picked up then by the author Simon Bliss, a young man from Whangarei in New Zealand who travels to England where man and boat first meet. Their journey across oceans and through many trials and challenges is one that delivers humour, humility and the hardest of life's lessons in the most unexpected places along the way.

If you like real life stories, epic journeys, stories of overcoming adversity or you just love boats, then Sea Legs is the book for you.
