About this product

Product Information

When Chay Blyth sailed round the world against the prevailing winds and currents, it was dubbed the impossible voyage . Twenty years after this feat, Blyth had the idea of building ten yachts and training 140 people to race along the same route - most of thm novices who had never sailed a boat before. Chay Blyth and Elaine Thompson relate the story of the British Steel Challenge, and how the amateur crews and the professionals behind them rose to the challenge. In September 1992, a fleet of 67-foot steel yachts set off across the world's most hostile waters. Their course took them past the Doldrums, across the Equator to the waters off Cape Horn, Tasmania, Cape Town and eventually back to Southampton. The nine-month voyage promised unrivalled adversity, yet what was first heralded as a reckless folly has become one of the greatest feats of seamanship in history. Chay Blyth is the author of The Impossible Voyage .

    The item arrived within the advertised time in secure packaging. The condition was very and as described. I have bought from this seller several times and I’m always pleased with their exceptional value and reliability. Free postage is good, but they use Evri who I think let them down. Evri are good with advance communication, but delivery invariably fails to meet the time period, and items are just left on doorstep (very insecure). Other than this, the seller is brilliant.

    Excellent Quality. Brand New. Looks just AMAZING! UNBELIEVABLE! Seller's price UNBEATABLE. I'd buy from this Seller again. Description spot on. Seller's communication Excellent, very helpful & very pleasant. Packaging Excellent. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a B'day present w/o the Gift wrap. Postage cost definitely great & very reasonable. Excellent delivery time. Arrived way earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much.
