About the Author
John Jourdane is a legend in the sailing community. He is one of the most experienced offshore sailors in the world, having sailing over 300,000 miles. Jourdane has crossed the Pacific Ocean 47 times, the Atlantic 12 times, and circumnavigated the world 3 times including two Whitbread Round the World Races.
Reviews
One might easily say, "Oh no, not another round the world race story!" However, this is an extraordinary tale. In a lively and engaging fashion, Jourdane relates his experiences on a Kiwi ketch in the 1989-90, 33,000-mile Whitbread yacht race. At 45, he is the oldest member of the crew and the only American. Jourdane details how he came to respect his Kiwi crewmates and rival competitors. He includes an adequate but not overpowering amount of technical detail (for which there is a good glossary) as well as descriptions of all the boats which participated. This exceptional account is recommended for most sailing collections.
