Customer Reviews

GOOD SAILING STORY!

Loved this book, find other review saying it's not about the particular race missing the point, it IS about sailing, about LOVING sailing, and yep, there is danger, but there is such an appreciation for LIFE in this little book that to carp about any politically-incorrectness is definitely mising the point! Good characterization, good story, GOOD BOOK! Find it and read it!

A race + a storm = a slice of a life

I liked this book a lot. Written about one particular sailboat race, and one particular storm, it falls into the category of "catastrophe" books, I guess, but it is, as another reviewer wrote, about much MORE than this one race. Wish there were follow-up books by Mr. Vaughan. Yes, great sailing descriptions, the best I've ever read. This book is a very good thing in a small package.
