The fascinating historical background to 'Prevailing Wind'
In this clip Thomas Dolby explains why he chose the 1914 America's Cup as the backdrop for his debut novel 'Prevailing Wind.'
"This was originally part of the Zoom interview I did with @DavidHoffmanFilmmaker. He asked me about my book and why I wrote it. As a keen sailor, New Yorker and ex-Mainer himself, David was intrigued by the New York Yacht Club theme and how a handful of its plutocrat members effectively ran the USA from their clubhouse in midtown Manhattan while calling on penniless Maine lobstermen to crew their racing yachts."
The pre-WW1 Progressive Age was a time when a small group of NYYC steel magnates, railroad bosses and factory owners possessed more wealth and power than the US Treasury itself. Yet they were fighting a rising tide of suffrage, unionism, and social justice.

This is an excerpt from p58 of Thomas Dolby's debut novel 'Prevailing Wind.' Set in 1913, the book tracks the adventures of two young brothers from the impoverished lobster community of Deer Isle, Maine, who snatch at a chance to escape to New York on the race crew of a millionaire's luxury sailing yacht. In this scene from early in the book, the brothers have just helped an Irish maid get out ...

Congratulations! I am so glad you decided to go for it! You look fantastic and I think it is because YOU feel more comfortable with this hair than without it. I started listening to your music in high school. I loved it then and I love it now! Thank you for all of your amazing music, videos and live performances. I am looking forward to seeing and hearing more of you! Cheers!
I had no feelings either way on hair or not but it did send me back to your music for the afternoon though. 😁
Saw you in Newcastle last week...you were brilliant 😍....love you with or without hair ...your talent isn't hair dependant...you are amazing 😍
J'ADORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You look amazing with a shaved head or full head of hair. Thank you for sharing your experience…..so excited to see you in London twice this week, haven’t seen you since 2010 😁
Lol.
1:20 The Rock, Jason Statham are big enough stars alone that are iconic for a decade to come, making all of us look cool. If i could live a hundred lives i would choose to be bald every single time. But i fully support your hair journey.
I love being bald ❤
I think Elton John is the perfect example of how the technology has changed. When he first started, the hair just looked OK at best. In recent years, it looks much better. Kudos to being up front and open about it. If you don't mind, is it secured on with like an adhesive or how does that work? And how do they decide where to put the front hairline? How often does it get removed (wondering about cleaning the skin underneath etc)? Finally, was this a better option for you than say, transplant?
It looks great - congratulations and thanks so much for sharing!
when your hair came back did you think it was due to SCIENCE.
Are you going to do something about being middle aged involving time machines?
We dont care about the hair , However you looked great in Houston, You really played it to the tack! Loved It! The Hair is very Cool!😊
Andy Warhol lives
Looks great. Just wondering, why now and not 20-30 years ago?
People color their hair, cut their hair, add to the hair... whatever works,-- it's all accentuation. It looks good IMO
One of my follicles is missing tonight . . . . . . . bye bye dandruff shallow water in the shower. Sorry Thomas I couldn't resist. When are you going to do another gig in Ireland?
Blimey looks real that does ,
I’m 60 and loved your music back in the day , I have a great head of hair, be it going grey, however , it suits you being bold , I have a thin Face ID look stupid , but you look good with a bold head ,,, I’m not gay , happily married by the way ,,, what ever makes you happy buddy ,,, cheers shane uk 🇬🇧
Dear Sir, Is it a designer wig?? Best wishes, Blinded with Science of Bristol.
forgot very quickly that its a wig
It's a little pufffffy...but otherwise looks good.
Eyes are the best. That's an amazing blue in Thomas. And I should know! (2 parents with ice-blue amazing eyes) I like the hair becuase it makes the face narrower. But music is an aural art and that's what's important to us. Look at Phil C! Who cares. Can you make great music with your voice and instruments? Thomas can, and with GREAT humour.
It feels good to reclaim our youth.
It's a wig. And a very bad one at that. If you're 65 years of age and going to wear a silly.wig at least make it look age appropriate. The hair style you have chose frankly looks ridiculous. And that's what makes it look like a wig. By the way, I love your music. In particular the album The Flat Earth. One of my all time favourites. The track "Screen Kiss" is such a beautiful song. Contrary to my comment I consider myself a fan of your music and is not intended to sound malicious so my apologies if in fact it does.
Beyond Cool✨🌊
I would love an audiobook of this too ❤
I was lucky enough to get to your show the other night in Manchester which was absolutely awesome. You stayed behind to autograph many people’s copies of this book (including mine) so you must have been so tired so thank you. I’m looking forward to reading this! Recently did my level 1 certificate in dinghy sailing (hardly the New York Yacht Club but it’s a start eh?) 😂 👌
Looked much better au natural. Get that off and grow the beard back , much cooler .😊
Thomas, I still think of my very dear friend who played the bass guitar in your band before a tragic airplane accident ended his life. R.l.P. Terry Jackson.
Good people have no worry how they look. We are not static objects, we are flow. The flow is what people pick up on above exterior looks.
❤ love it Tom. You were kind enough to sign my book. 🎉😊👍 you didn't know how to take me. I'm the guy who helped you pick up the letters off the marquee in Brooklyn. 2 dudes. Who did that? All of us. No clue. Classic. 😂
75 f-in hundred bucks for a pile of shite like that 😂
The flat earth album. Omg stunning. I was crazy into hifi and this was my demonstration cd every time I bought new equipment. Last hifi. Was marantz cd63ki sig. Audiolab c&p amp and keg reference model1 . Based on that cd. The memories.never betterred
Prefer you as a pilgarlic mate. Your music's what defines you, not your bonce follicles
You literally look 20 years younger! Losing a few pounds made your face thinner too. Its looks awesome.
This is so interesting! I have been seeing posts of recent shows from your tour and thinking to myself "he's so handsome!" without having an ah-ha moment of you now having a full head of hair. I saw you in Dallas in 1984 and was in love with your aesthetics from the start. I've always been a fan of a man with a clean pate. Now, being 60, I am losing my own hair from menopause and am experiencing fear and insecurity. So, I have a delayed empathy. Celebrate it ALL!! Enjoy it and have fun! You'll always be a beautiful man, no matter what.
Thomas! Would you ever shed some light and demos on working with Def Leppard and some other big bands?
Have The Golden Age of Wireless on vinyl!! Thanks for that great album man!
that piece looks really really good on you!!!
i just knew there was going to be some form of science in this...
Looks good mate, those judgemental types lack charisma and most likely cannot program a synth. Very sad.
A full head of Hair always makes people look healthier.
You look good Thomas. Looking forward to seeing you for the first time in Newcastle tonight!!
Just read your book!! It was better than expected and so well researched. Truly exceptional writing and genuine insight 🤗 thanks! loved Davey and Jacob’s reconciliation at the end
I love hair systems!!! You knocked off 10 years. Dude you look great! You could pass as early 50s. You could even get away with a little more darker hair in it with 75% grey.
Blinded me with hairness. Hahaha 😂
You made a great choice with the style and color; it looks awesome. Either way, is fine with your fans and it is fun seeing someone go this route, especially when it looks so damned good.
Not enough details and needs a follow up video
Hats off (no pun intended) and it looks great. It took me a couple of minutes to get used to it. I always liked his style in his early videos, the suit, spectacles et al
