Francis Chichester 270 p, paperback, 13.5x21.4 cm
Francis Chichester's 1967 singlehanded circumnavigation set a blazing record for speed. He completed the voyage with just one stop and 226 days at sea. It was an amazing performance; that he was sixty-five years old made it more so.
Chichester then sat down to write one of the great narratives of modern voyaging. The story of how he singlehandedly circumnavigated the globe in his 53-foot ketch Gipsy Moth IV, the whole way battling hostile seas as well as his boat's numerous design flaws, is a tale of superhuman tenacity and endurance to be read and reread by sailors and armchair adventurers alike.
This book has inspired the first solo around-the-world race and remains a timeless testament to the spirit of adventure, and is included on National Geographic Adventure magazine's list of Greatest Adventure Books of All Time.
