If you’re wondering what happened to Coastal Rowing 2this is rightly it.

peggy-bawn-pressBuy Martin Black’s G.L. Watson – The Art and Science of Yacht Design here. G.L. Watson is strongly associated with rowing tradition, both with his designs for ship’s boats, and with his pulling and sailing lifeboats for the RNLI.
