Working Sail : A Life In Wooden Boats

ISBN: 9781907206658

Author: Luke Powell    Publisher: Lodestar Books

Luke Powell has almost single-handedly pioneered a revival in the building of traditional pilot cutters in Great Britain; he also has a flair for storytelling, both when looking back over a rich if unconventional life lived to the full, and when describing the long struggle to win acceptance for the wooden boats on which he established his reputation. Working Sail first appeared in 2012 and features all eight of the Scillonian pilot cutters Luke and his team built at Gweek on the Helford River; it is the ‘prequel’ to From the Loft Floor to the Sea.
