Dauntless was the name of a fifty foot (15m) ex-French crabber sailboat sailed by five Cornish boys in the children's novels written by Peter Dawlish, a pseudonym of the Scottish author James Lennox Kerr.

The five boys with the help of the retired Captain Blake take over the abandoned vessel in 1945, the last year of the second world war. David Maitland served as Captain, Bob was Mate, Alex was Navigator, Tim Baron was Bosun, Bruce Cox was Engineer and Cook (on a boat without an engine!).

These adventures take place in the mid to late 1940s to the mid 1950s. Books in the series include:

  • Dauntless Finds Her Crew (1947)
  • Dauntless Sails Again
  • Dauntless and the Mary Baines
  • Dauntless Takes Recruits (1950)
  • Dauntless Sails In
  • Dauntless and the Poplar Pirates
  • Dauntless in Danger (1954)
  • Dauntless and the Mystery of the Abandoned Yacht
  • Dauntless Goes Home (1960)
