Good to see that Fernhurst has reissued its edition of Arthur Ransome’s classic 1923 tale of his first proper yacht, and sailing her in the Baltic. This it the one edited by Brian Hammett which augments Ransome’s original maps and photographs with modern photos of the same scenes, and much additional material from Ransome’s own archives, plus details of what happened to Racundra after he sold her. Now in paperback, but still invaluable. £16.99. PW fernhurstbooks.com
