Description
Singlehanded sailing has a long history – of voyages deliberately made for recognition, sport or gain, and many that were only accidentally or incidentally solo efforts. Claims of unique or fast passages were also part of the past, recent yacht ‘records’ should be seen in this broader context. Outstanding feats of seamanship have been forgotten, obscured, or simply ignored, and many must be still unknown.
The appendices contain a definitive and unique compilation of singlehanded transocean passages, circumnavigations, Cape Horners, transocean races, women sailors and early voyages, and are the first authoritative reference on this subject.
