Cover Picture: Bacchus rig up a jockey pole to steady shy spinnaker as Sydney-Hobart race fleet reaches down the coast on clearing the heads. Ahead is the 33ft sloop Salome, with her kite fully set and drawing.

Pyjama Jim

Although she is small, the crew lived in comfort and style with liqueurs and cigars after dinner each evening.

Jim Mason sailed for three days in his pyjamas! He is prone to sunburn, has to keep covered up, and thinks his pyjamas are the most comfortable thing to wear around a boat.
