@Toraidhe Hi Toraidhe. It's amazing to hear you sailed with Villiers. I am with colleagues researching a documentary of the great man. It would be interesting to talk to you about him.

Thank you TorbenGalster, for your enlightening comments. Very interesting. Your information is very useful, and your spelling a joy, even if it is not the Ministry of Education no-straight-bananas official version. Captainhtml may think he knows spelling, but his punctuation's well dodgy.
More importantly, did you sail?

Correct spelling, people, correct spelling....
I sailed with Alan Villiers in 1965 on a three masted barque. He was a magnificent sailor and it was the best voyage of my life.

Alan J. Villiers was a famous see writer. He wrigth a number of very god books, eks. A voyage with the Parma. He bougth together with the Åland mastermariner Ruben de Clous the big 4 mastet barque Parma in 1932. After a collision in 1936 she went to the breakers. Before that, he had sailed before the mast at some of the Gustav Erikson ships. He also made some films eks. at the Grace Harwar. I can´t see wich ship it is on the film. But I think it´s a Gustav Erikson ship Penang, a 3 mastet barque.
