Survival at sea: A practical manual of survival and advice to the shipwrecked, assembled from an analysis of thirty-one survival stories - Hardcover
Synopsis
Every yachtsman pursues his pastime in the knowledge that disaster may one day threaten. The possibility of shipwreck can never be discounted -whether the voyage is a day-sail, a weekend trip or a blue-water cruise. This book is a practical guide to how to prepare for and survive such an eventuality. Bernard Robin's boo is structured around 31 true survival stories ranging from 15th -century episodes to the recent experiences of the Robertsons (whose boat sank in four minutes in calm seas after being holed by whales) and the Baileys (adrift for four months in the Pacific). These accounts are analyzed to extract all the relevant information on how the survivors managed and how this knowledge can be utilized.
