Christmas gifts for watersport lovers

by Jeremy Atkins, Fernhurst Books 28 Nov 2014 02:00 PST 28 November 2014

It's that time again... now what presents do you give to a mad keen sailor (or even swimmer, diver, fisher, paddler or surfer)?

Fernhurst Books have a brilliant range of Christmas gift books covering sailing and a whole host of other watersports.

Our Ultimate Adventures Series describes 100 extraordinary experiences in each sport – be it Sailing, Diving, Fishing, Canoeing or Surfing – with lively, motivating writing and breath-taking photography.

The Amazing Stories Series is made up of collections of incredible real-life tales from the sports of Sailing, Diving, Fishing or Surfing, making for compelling reading over cold winter nights.

And as for swimmers, the best-selling Swim Smooth is an ideal gift for the open water swimmer or triathlete – the authors coached the Brownlee brothers, so they know a thing or two about swimming technique!

Sailors are really spoiled for choice. The selection for racers is shown on Fernhurst Books' racing page. Every aspect of racing is covered: from dinghy to yacht, beginner to expert, and everything in between.

Cruisers can find countless books on the cruising and navigation pages, together with the beautiful series of Cruising Companions which cover the best cruising grounds from the West Country to Turkey, with many other stop-offs on the way.

And then for stocking fillers... Waterproof Notebook, Knots & Splices, The Sailor's Little Book and our Practical Companion Series – including the Racing Rules Companion and Team Racing Companion – all little books, all perfectly formed (and all for £10 or under).

To find your perfect gifts, have a browse at www.fernhurstbooks.com.

All the books can be bought from www.fernhurstbooks.com, and can also be found in all good bookshops, book websites and chandleries.

If you are stuck for a Christmas gift this year, then look no further... we have a book for you!
