A treasure trove of the most exciting tales of adventure afloat: from mountainous seas to a tropical paradise; from the majestic square rigger to the humble homemade yacht. The exploits of sailingâ s greatest names are recounted, along with an eclectic mix of voyages that never made the headlines yet make compelling reading. Now back in hardback.
