Mayday!

By Joachim Schult

Here is satisfying adventure reading combined with practical analysis of what put yachts in distress and how it might have been avoided. The book is full of stories and lessons not only about storms, personal terror and aberrant personalities, but about the groundings and simple carelessness that can befall any ordinary boater. Read it for entertainment or for knowledge, you are sure to be pleased either way. The volume also serves as a good introduction to many boats that tell the full story of the sinkings, fires, shipwrecks, and disasters summarzed here. Dockside

Are you a long range boater - Read this book!

This book is a facinating assembly of condensed stories about disasters at sea - yacht disasters. If you think that you are immune when at sea this book will wake you up. My family and I are considering some long range cruising and this book has impacted our thinking. You must be well prepared and vigilant in your efforts to plan well and this book really puts many things into perspective. A great read for boaters!
