Sunk Without Trace (eBook, PDF)

30 dramatic accounts of yachts lost at sea

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Total Loss has been on the Adlard Coles list for 23 years, and in March this year we
published a new edition in B format with a 'thriller' look. In two
months it has sold 886 copies. There was a lot of unused material left
over from it, plus some new total loss stories of yachts sunk, which
have happened since the book went to press. I'd like to get the author
working on a follow-up volume asap (he's a journalist and takes ages to
deliver - deadlines etc). We'd repeat the formula: thriller look,
low-priced impulse buy.

Autorenporträt

Paul Gelder, editor of Yachting Monthly for 10 years - from 2002 to February 2012 - is no stranger to disaster at sea. He has edited two best-selling anthologies of true-life sailing disasters, Total Loss, plus its companion volume, Sunk Without Trace (Adlard Coles Nautical). He has also written three books on round the world sailing events, including The Loneliest Race, covering the 1994-95 BOC Around Alone race, and Gipsy Moth IV: A Legend Sails Again (Wiley Nautical). He was presented with the Ocean Cruising Club's Award of Merit in 2005 for launching the campaign to save Sir Francis Chichester's famous ketch Gipsy Moth IV, which sailed around the world on the 40th anniversary of her first epic voyage.
