RYA Yachtmaster Max Liberson had been drawn to the sea all his life, but it was the chance acquisition of a yacht that apparently only he could see the potential of that allowed him to fulfil a dream. What followed was a true story of ingenuity, persistence and more anecdotal tales of woe than most sailors would want to admit to as their own. For anyone aiming to make a similar voyage, the story goes into detail of his plans beforehand and the many pitfalls and triumphs he encountered on his 9-month round trip from Battlesbridge in Essex over to the Carribean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46868127252631,"sku":"9781471043604","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781471043604.webp?v=1769988568","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-boat-they-laughed-at-9781471043604","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
