Sinossi

This is an enthralling collection of 45 dramatic stories of yachts lost at sea. First published in 1985, Jack Coote's book of first hand accounts has been comprehensively updated and revised, with the addition of more than 20 new stories. The authors include such well-known sailors as Isabelle Autissier, Mike Richey, Josh Hall and Peter Crowther, as well as Phil Weld, Frank Mulville, Peter Tangvald and H.W. Tilman. Their moving, emotionally charged descriptions of abandoning their yachts at sea will have you on the edge of your seat. Here are tales of collisions with UFO's (unidentified floating objects), fire and explosions, exhaustion and crew failure, capsize, faulty navigation, dismastings and severe storms.
