Messing About In Boats Nuatical Apparel and Gifts

Since 1980

"There is nothing- absolutely nothing-
half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats."
That's what Ratty said to Mole in Kenneth Grahame's beloved classic,

The Wind in the Willows. "In or out of 'em,

it doesn't matter.

Nothing seems really

to matter, that's

the charm of it.". . . Ratty continued.

Whether

you celebrate

Ratty's notion sailing, motoring,

rowing, paddling, boat

building, or. . .

whatever. . . "it doesn't

matter". . . "that's the charm

of it".

Celebrate Ratty's notion with our

Simply Messing About In Boats shirts and tote

bags. Our designs are loved by young

and old, worldwide, from boat bums to

royalty. Join us

in expressing Ratty's sentiment to the

world!

Shirts and Tote Bags featuring Ratty's well-known quote from Kenneth Grahame's classic, The Wind in the Willows. One of Ernest H. Shepard's original illustrations for the book complements the quote. The illustration depicts Mole's first boating adventure, with Mole soaking it all in as Ratty pulls on the oars.

"There is nothing- absolutely nothing-
half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats."
