    I just picked up a copy of September Yachting World and found an article about Annie Hill in the Great Seamanship column, edited by Tom Cunliffe.  Lots of great junk-rig photos too.  Yachting World used to be a stuffy, establishment publication, but in recent years it has become the best all-round English magazine, with frequent articles about interesting voyagers in small boats.  In July there was an article about Vixen, a 34 ft gaff cutter making its second circumnavigation, and in the August edition there was an article about a 22yr old boy who rebuilt an old wooden Folkboat, Lorema, in England, and sailed it solo to Antigua and won his class in the Antigua Classic Regatta.

       " ...there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in junk-rigged boats"
