Summary: Gybe or tack?
Comment: A great story of adventure, as the author describes his voyages around the world in several premier yacht races. Of course, the author did not chose a literary profession as a career, but never the less, he does a good job of describing in exciting detail the struggles and achievements of his life long obsession with some of the most challenging sailing events in the world.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Sailor's Sailor
Comment: Having ridden Destroyers for the US Navy for twenty years and cruising the Caribbean for the last three, I can say this is the definitive sailor's story. Truly inspirational. This book belongs in any boats library with Fastnet Force 10, Fatal Storm and A Hungry Ocean.

Summary: To much Background
Comment: I enjoyed this book but I did think he talked a little to much about his struggles to get sponsorship and not enough about his sailing. The sailing parts of the book were the most interesting because he always seems to be pushing his boats to the limit. Which in turn he seems to always almost sink them. So for his next book , which will be coming out I'm sure after his around the world race in 2001, more sailing less background.
