How 9 men attempted the longest singlehanded adventure.

This is the story of 9 men attempting the greatest adventure around the earth: solo circumnavigation non-stop. You will find excerpts from Moitessier`s Longue Route, Crowhurst`s last voyage... It is a chronographical description of nine races, as each sailor was on a world of his own. Each boat has it`s own noises, it`s own history and all nine are well blended together.An excellent book about the pionneers of solo sailing
