Synopsis
An entertaining collection of Des Sleightholme's humorous observations on the nautical scene. The 'joys' of antifouling, the bloody-mindedness of marine engines, the dubious pleasure of sailing on a spring tide, skippers, launchings and novice crew are just some of the subjects aired by 'Old Harry'. Each episode is enlivened with an accompanying cartoon illustration.
