GroupsBoats and Sailing, Stamp Collecting and Philately

About meRetired from one of the computing departments of the
University of Edinburgh. Now devoting my time to finding my
way around Devon/Dartmoor, and the West Country, and
spending as much time as possible sailing.

About my libraryA varied library of 2000+ books. For the time being
I'll only be cataloguing those books which relate to
sailing, naval architecture and yacht/ship construction;
marine biology/ecology; board games, particularly shogi,
xiang-chi and go; and finally, books dealing with
postcards and stamps both of which I collect.

Only a few of the tags I use should should need explanation:

'sailing' will cover anything which might be of the
slightest interest to a sailor/yachtsman, so this will
include books on marine biology, oceanography,
meteorology, climatology, fluid- and hydro- dynamics,
yacht and ship design and construction, lighthouses, etc.

'collectable' means that the book is one I have seen on
the shelves of second-hand bookshops at a reasonable price.

'stinker' means that the book is not fit for purpose - I
will always justify such an outrageous claim.
