Acerca del autor
H. G. Hasler was a lieutenant colonel in the Royal Marines and was awarded the OBE for his services in Norway in 1940 and the DSO for leading a daring raid on German shipping in 1942. He was the author of cruising guides, invented the modern yacht wind vane self-steering gear, and founded the Single-Handed Transatlantic Race in 1960 and the Round Britain Race. J. K. McLeod became close friends with HG Hasler in 1961, sailing Hasler&;s junk-rig Jester on Loch Ness where Hasler was setting up the first Loch Ness Monster investigation. He became Hasler&;s partner in 1963 and was his enthusiastic disciple until Hasler&;s untimely death. He currently sails his own 47-foot Chinese schooner Ròn Glas to further develop the advantages of the junk rig.
