520 $aOne person. One boat. And mile upon mile of open sea. Ever since Joshua Slocum circumnavigated the globe in 1895-98, sailors have dreamed of taking to the high seas alone. In 1966 Sir Francis Chichester astonished the world by sailing solo around the globe in just 226 days. Two years later Robin Knox-Johnston became the first person to do it nonstop. It's a dream to which many sailors have devoted their lives; some have lost their lives in the pursuit. With lavish, full-color photography.
520 8 $aAnd dramatic prose, Sailing Solo pays homage to the world's greatest sailors and gives you first-hand accounts of every major single-handed race. In the century since Slocum's pioneering voyage, the boats have changed but the sea has not. Single-handed voyaging is still the ultimate test of resourcefulness, courage, endurance, and imagination. Here is a rich history and celebration of the great voyages, the races, and the men and women who sail them. Ever since the first Observer.
520 8 $aSingle-Handed Transatlantic Race in 1960, the idea of lone sailors pitting their wits against each other and the elements has captured the public's imagination. Sailing Solo traces the history of each race, introduces the skippers, and explains the impact of design and technology on the boats they race. From the philosophy of Bernard Moitessier to the grit of Eric Tabarly and the professionalism of Ellen MacArthur, discover what makes sailors tackle that ultimate of all challenges: sailing.
