"Two in a Top Hat"

Jan and Ian Mitchell sailed around the world in the Top Hat "Caprice" between 1974 and 1977. Jan wrote fourteen magazine articles, which were published in several magazines during the year after their return. These included one the editor chose as the cover story for Women’s Day on August 14th 1978. Jan’s articles from Australian Sea Spray and Australian Sailing (including one by Ian Mitchell) are available on the link on this website, Historical Articles on the Top Hat Yacht.
The book includes all these articles and more: many more photos and charts than in the original articles, as well as a chapter on the history of Top Hat yachts in Australia.
Copies are available directly from Jan. ($10.00 plus $3.00 for postage within Australia.) See her website http://www.writingsfromjanmitchell.com
The book can also be purchased from Boat Books, The Point Café at Marmong Marina, Lake Macquarie and also at the Rathmines Post Office 2283. Make online orders from http://www.createspace.com or http://www.amazon.com.

Hi Ian,

Thanks' for letting us know about the book.

I will get my order in pronto.

Will be nice to have the story in one tidy volume instead of the pile of photo-copies I have at the moment!

All the best,

Tom
