About this product

Product Information

In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones, satellite dishes, and electronic positioning systems. A Voyage for Madmen is a tale of sailors driven by their own dreams and demons, of horrific storms in the Southern Ocean, and of those riveting moments when a split-second decision means the difference between life and death.

4 out of 5 stars
by pejmont21 Jan, 2016
Extraordinarily true sailing story of bravery, hardship and disaster.
This is a vital book for all yachties. It narrates the disastrous round the world non-stop solo race of 1968 / 69 - before the era of GPS and of moblie phones. Also safety rules were unknown (or considered unnecessary)while the sailers themselves (all British except one) considered themselves invincible. The book focuses not only on the participants but also on the extraordinary oceans encountered - especially the "Roaring Forties" above Antarctica.
