About This Book

A group of Sea Scouts restore a small yacht and embark on a Channel cruise that tests their seamanship and courage. They contend with sabotage and attempted arson, investigate suspects ashore, rescue a derelict at sea, shelter a stowaway, and face fog, becalming, and a dangerous race toward a jamboree cup. Conflicts with criminals and a convict surface, but teamwork, quick thinking, and loyalty carry the crew through perilous moments including a flooded race, a dramatic rescue from the water, and a triumphant return home.
