Books by Rodney Pell

Appointed a consultant surgeon in 1973, the author's childhood fascination with ships and the sea was reignited when he became owner of the 'Sheemaun'. Eventually resigning from the NHS, he came to be admitted as an Associate of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and had the honour to sit on the panel of judges with National Historic Ships UK in respect of granting awards for historic ship conservation. His wife Maura, also a yacht-master, sails her own 15-ton sailing ketch.
