Description

Three Sheets in the Wind brings together a glorious collection of Thelwell's sailing cartoons. Arriving on a summer weekend at any stretch of water without one's own craft behind the car or swaying proudly at its moorings is like attending a dance with a broken leg - not to mention the damage to one's social status. This is a humorous manual of instruction for sailors anywhere.

The perfect gift for any sailor who has misinterpreted a distress signal, worn stilettos on board, abandoned ship, or experienced irreparable damage to their social status at the club. Norman Thelwell was a keen observer of the foibles of the British at work and play. He is best known for his small, round and hairy ponies and their small, equally round little girl owners.
An oldie but a goodie. If you have been sailing you'll relate to a lot of these (I have a theory that if you don't want to look silly in public you shouldn't go sailing...) and if you haven't you should still find them amusing!
