Most interesting. One forgets that it was a best seller. That is no doubt why it became almost a "sacred text" for suceeding generations of yachtsmen, including AR and Maurice Griffiths, all of whom wanted to be as Davies-like as possible. I find definite stylistic echoes of "The Riddle" in "Racundra".
