...Lusty Uffa Fox certainly has a touch of Kidd and Blackbeard about him-at least in the eyes of landlubbers, whom he has shocked all his life. Uffa got into boats the hard way - as a 14-year-old Cowes shipbuilder's apprentice. After a World War I stint in the Royal Naval Air Service, he bagged a berth aboard Typhoon, a 45-ft. auxiliary ketch owned by two Manhattan yachting writers who had just crossed the Atlantic in 22 days. The return trip to the U.S. took three hungry, storm-ridden months. Undaunted, Uffa worked his way back...
