Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Riveting tale of a 1,500-mile voyage on a 21-foot sailboat in 1867, undertaken in response to a 'Boat Exhibition' and regatta staged by Napoleon III to encourage the youth of France to explore the rivers and streams of their native land. This rapturous account became known as 'the book that launched a thousand ships.'

The auther, a man of considerable education, means and ego, tells of the 1887 sailing of his 21 foot yawl, Rob Roy.
Not written in the pleasant narrative of Joshua Slocum, (Sailing Alone Around The World) of his 1895-1898 voyage.

This is a highly readable account of the author's solo voyage across the English Channel to France and up the Seine. Although he sails in a small sailboat here, MacGregour invented the modern canoe, and spent his life promoting the canoe and other outdoor sports. This is a fun book, especially for small boat sailors
