The Creation of Cloah Sark

After losing one boat in the West Indies, Johnny Clougher returned to New Zealand on Christmas Eve, 1968, with no assets, trade skills or even any knowledge of boat-building. Despite this, he created his Cloah Sark, one of the most beautiful yachts afloat in New Zealand waters. The Cloah Sark was ten years in the making--ten years of extreme hardship, heartbreak and sadness. Yet the book is a rollicking good tale, full of humor and outrageous anecdotes: it will appeal to every kind of reader, yachtsmen and layman alike--and especially all those who like to see a nonconformist succeed against all odds.
