Riding The Tide: Art, Engineering and a Thirst for Adventure. A Memoir

By Tony Fleming

World-renowned boatbuider Tony Fleming, founder of Fleming Yachts, tells his life story in this memoir. Fleming came of age during the twilight of the British Empire, and was in turns a miner, surveyor and police official before entering the trade that was to make him famous. There are fascinating stories about life in Africa and Asia at a time that now seems far removed, and far more innocent, than our own. Even more fascinating is Fleming's account of how he lost his job at age 50 and, with literally nothing but brains and determination, went on to found his own company. This is an inspiring story and well worth reading to show what a man can achieve when he sets his mind to it.
