DESCRIPTION
Boleh's designer and skipper, Commander Robin Kilroy DSC, RN, was originally commissioned to write about his brainchild and the planned 16,000 mile voyage to Salcombe, Devon while preparing to set sail from Singapore in 1949.
He was surprised to learn from his publishers along the route that the manuscript had to be delivered on his arrival in England. Nothing daunted, and employing the spirit captured in his vessel's name "Boleh" meaning ˜can do" in Malay, he met the deadline.
Includes monochrome images and drawings, portrait on title page.
