In 1968, it seemed that the last great adventure was to circumnavigate the globe solo in a sailboat. So a UK newspaper proposed a prize for the first man to achieve this. Nine set out to do so, with spectacularly bad results. This is a completely compelling book about a wild boat race. I loved this one.
