Sailing to the Moon: The Biography of Rolly Tasker, Australia's Greatest All-round Yachtsman is a comprehensive 340-page biography written by accla…imed Australian historian and author Roland Perry. Published in 2008 by Pennon Publishing, the book details the extraordinary and highly competitive life of Rolly Tasker AM (1926-2012), one of the most prolific and dominant figures in international sailing history. Key Themes and Book Overview: The Book's Title: The name Sailing to the Moon reflects an incredible milestone—over his 60-year career, Tasker logged over 340,000 nautical miles, a distance further than traveling from the Earth to the moon. Unparalleled Reliability: The book highlights Tasker's legendary meticulousness; in more than 2,000 competitive races, he never lost a yacht, crew member, or rig, and never once retired from a race due to gear failure. The "Siska" Legacy: It heavily features his absolute dominance in ocean racing from 1969 to 1985 using his five self-built, consecutive ocean yachts named Siska I through V.
