Summary

"Super Yachts" ventures into the exclusive realm of high-end maritime travel, revealing the intricate technology and design that define these opulent vessels. More than just symbols of luxury, super yachts embody advanced engineering principles. For example, modern yachts use sophisticated dynamic positioning systems, allowing them to remain stationary without dropping anchor, even in strong currents. The book examines how these floating palaces have evolved, tracing their lineage from early steam-powered ships to the advanced diesel-electric hybrids of today, showcasing the relentless pursuit of efficiency and comfort.

 
The book takes a multifaceted approach, starting with an introduction to super yachts within the maritime world, including historical context and essential terminology. It then moves to design and engineering principles, analyzing hull design, propulsion systems, and automation. A dedicated section explores oceanic navigation challenges, from weather forecasting to maritime law.

 
The central theme emphasizes how these vessels serve as microcosms of broader technological trends, often pioneering innovations that later influence commercial shipping. "Super Yachts" offers a comprehensive look at the industry, valuable for maritime enthusiasts, technology buffs, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of travel and technology.

    Mr Edgar Finchley, unmarried clerk, aged 45, is told to take a holiday for the first time in his life. He decides to go to the seaside. But Fate has other plans in store… 
     
    From his abduction by a cheerful crook, to his smuggling escapade off the south coast, the timid but plucky Mr Finchley is plunged into a series of the most astonishing and extraordinary adventures. 
     
    His rural adventure takes him gradually westward through the English countryside and back, via a smuggling yacht, to London. 
     
    This gentle comedy trilogy was a runaway bestseller on first publication in the 1930s and retains a timeless appeal today. It has been dramatized twice for BBC Radio, with the 1990 series regularly repeated. 
    Editorial reviews: 
     
    ‘Quite delightful, with an atmosphere of quiet contentment and humour that cannot fail to charm … The longer we travel with Mr Finchley, the better we come to love him. He makes us share his bread and cheese, and beer and pipe. His delight at the beauties of the countryside and his mild astonishment at the strange ways of men are infectious.’ Daily Telegraph 
     
    ‘His gift of story-telling is obviously innate. Rarely does one come on so satisfying an amalgam of plot, characterisation and good writing.’ Punch

    If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
    Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
    Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
    Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
    In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.
