About this product

Product Information

In 1967 nine men set out in small boats to race each other round the world. It had never been done before. This was before satellites provided pin-point navigation. Their world at sea was far closer to Captain Cook's age than ours. When they sailed, heading for the world's stormiest seas, they vanished over the horizon into the unknown. One man, sending reports of tremendous progress, never left the Atlantic. These were not sportsmen- one didn't even know how to sail. Once at sea, they were exposed to conditions frightening beyond imagination and loneliness almost unknown. Their boats were primitive compared with the today's yachts. The living space was the size of a VW bus. Sealed inside their tiny craft, the sailors met their truest selves. This it turned out, was their greatest danger. They failed and succeeded on the grandest scale.

  • gripping adventure real life story

    I loved this book and did not want it to end. I am not a sailor nor do I have any interest in sailing or boats however this book is a page turner. its a true story of adventure on the sea and you can begin to understand why people love the sport, danger and freedom sailing. its all about being part of nature not fighting it but working with whatever if throws at you... whether it be the weather or the loneliness. fantastic read.

  • Definitely a book to put on your must read list!

    Being a novice blue water sailor I found this book both informative from a sailing perspective and entertaining as a storyline. From the depths of despair to unbridled elation I just couldn’t put this book down. Definitely a book to put on your must read list!
