John Conway discovered his love for boats as a child in 1960, when his parents gave him and his brothers an 8' pram to explore the waters near their home. He has been sailing about New England ever since. In 1993, he bought a 100 year old wooden catboat riddled with leaks and plagued by rust. With his family's help, he set about restoring the craft, and eventually they molded it into the yacht Buckrammer. Catboat Summers chronicles a decade's worth of adventure through a series of short tales, each recounting one of the Conway's many extraordinary experiences aboard their hand-crafted vessel. From an excursion with the now 75 year old children of Buckrammer's former owners to a chilling, phantasmal encounter amidst fog and darkness and even a pilgrimage to the yard where Buckrammer was born, readers will be enthralled by Conway's compelling narrative and whimsical humor. A series of appendices detail the projects and procedures involved in the restoration and maintenance of the Buckrammer, with commentary and recommendations that sailors can apply to their own craft.
