The origin of Messing About In Sailboats

The original quote is from Kenneth Grahame's Wind In the Willows: "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Plans to maintain Gipsy Moth IV unveiled | Yacht News | Yachting World

via www.yachtingworld.com

Great story on how a UK couple stepped in to save an important part of British sailing heritage, Gipsy Moth IV.

Had it not been for UKSA and Yachting Word's initiative in getting the word out that she was rotting away, this national treasure would have been off to the breaker's yard for sure.
