Summary

Uffa Fox was the most celebrated and successful yacht designer in the world. Much more than a sailor and boat designer, he was an irrepressible extrovert and novel thinker, as well as a singer, musician, journalist, author, painter, sportsman, campaigner, controversial businessman, and friend of royalty. In the years since his death, his reputation has grown rather than diminished.

This new biography, the first for 50 years, celebrates a universal man who not only changed his sport, his island, and the lives of his friends, but also left a void that is impossible to fill. Such people are rare, and his story deserves to be remembered.
