ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The Right Honourable Lord Riverdale of Sheffield D.L. was born Robert Arthur Balfour in 1901 in Sheffield.  He was educated at Birkdale School Sheffield, Aysgarth School and Oundle.  Released from potential service with the Royal Flying Corps in 1918, he trained in a sheffield steelworks before studying metallurgy and engineering at Sheffield University.

Lord Riverdale has had a varied careeer which has brought him world travel and experience in many directions, including service in the Royal Navy from 1939 to 1946.  He has had many important appointments, including Justice of the Peace, President of the Association of British Commerce and Master Cutler.

His lifelong hobby has been sailing and Yacht designing.  he invented and developed the twin keel type of yacht, and subsequently read a paper on yacht design to the Royal Institute of Naval Architechts.  In a long lifetinme he has voyaged 150,000 miles around the world in yachts of his own design and his three 'Bluebirds' are still sailing.  The book, with over 100 illustrations, is generally chronological, partly biographical and is readable by seafarers and landlubbers alike, but an absolute must for all yachtsmen.

 

This copy is in very good condition and can be collected, to save postage, if required by the successful bidder.  The postage of £4.63 is 'cost' - this is a big book of 216 pages.
