Amazing Sailing Stories
(3rd edition)

Dick Durham

Fernhurst

£14.99

Dick Durham retells sixty of sailing’s most exciting stories. Most are from the classics of sailing literature, both more and less well-known, but some are based on Dick’s own experiences and interviews. If you wonder why his happiest and most characteristic stories are small scale adventures off the Essex coast, then you might like to read his experience of the 2001 Fastnet Race which begins ‘Hell is not fire and brimstone but cold water and a lump of limestone four miles off the south-west coast of Ireland. I know because I’ve been there.’

Almost all these stories involve disasters which are usually (but not invariably) survived.

A book which will keep you content to cower in the marina.
