Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
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.
