Nautical Lore Modern | Oral narratives of modern seafaring watercraft with multihull pioneer Jim BrownAuthor: Jim Brown
This ongoing series of "capers" tells of epic voyages, castaway survivors, swashbuckling characters, family cruises, cultural setbacks, technical breakthroughs, racing triumphs, and the "seasteading" lifestyle. Revealed within these stories are many details of design, construction, operation and seamanship. Since World War Two, the emergence of truly modern, lightweight vessels recreational and commercial, multihull and monohull, power and sail constitutes a sea change in marine architecture that may well persist for generations to come. Because modern seafaring has advanced so fast, and yet history often neglects its oral heritage, now is the time for us to gather and share this legacy.
