About This Item
Lymington: Nautical Publishing , 1970. Hardcover. Fair/fair. 700g. Detailed analysis of the 1968 single-handed transatlantic yacht race, by one of the competitors. After several boats were damaged or sunk after encountering icebergs, hurricanes and fog, the race organizers were criticised for their choice of route. Questions were asked, such as, were the risks to competitors and rescuers alike justified? How did each skipper, and each boat, face up to the many hazards encountered? The author addresses these questions, and more, in this definitive account. Size, 22 x 14cm, 184 pages, 16 b&w photos, numerous drawings, diagrams, maps and tables. Ex-library, front endpaper removed, some library markings. Red cloth boards in fair illustrated dust jacket. Internally, fair: shows ocassional light stains, but generally clean, bright and unmarked in sound bindings.
