Cutting The Dragons Tail Chidell David Chidell Lynda by Chidell, David & Chidell, Lynda instant download after payment.

'In 1982, the seeds of an idea were sown; and idea that was to change our lives'
So begins Cutting the Dragon's Tail, an autobiographical work which tells the story of David and Lynda Chidell. While working in southern Africa, the Chidells decided to change their lifestyle by constructing a Chinese Junk. Their intention was to sail to the Mediterranean and set up as a charter boat offering tourists 'the holiday of a lifetime'.
Cutting the Dragon's Tail is a work of considerable scope and depth. It is written with sufficient authority to be of interest to those who know about boats, and want to learn more about Chinese Junks in particular. It is also an accessible work containing a wealth of information and sound practical advice for the aspiring shipbuilder or seafarer.
Above all, however, it is a vivid, engaging and thoroughly entertaining account of the experiences of a couple who took to the sea in search of freedom and adventure.
