First sentence: Those of you who enjoy messing around in sailboats-or, what I find is cheaper and dryer, reading about other people messing around in sailboats-will be aware of a literary genre in which the author describes, sometimes in lurid detail, one or other of the things that can go wrong at sea, and then offers soothing advice about how to cope with the kind of crisis he has conjured up.
