There were too many degrading disasters, mortifying mishaps and groan-worthy gaffes for one collection, so following on from Yachting Monthly's Confessions, here is another wonderful collection of humiliating misadventures from the enduringly popular Confessional column of Yachting Monthly magazine.

For over 25 years, yachtsmen have clamoured to tell the world about their most embarrassing exploits and their most shameful blunders, so here is another crop of entertaining examples, so that the rest of us can learn from other people's mistakes instead of our own - or at least have a good laugh at their expense!

Accompanied once more by cartoons from the inimitable Mike Peyton, this collection helps to prove that worse things really do happen at sea!
