On 14th June 1968 Robin Knox-Johnston set sail from Falmouth to
take part in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race - the first,
non-stop, single-handed sailing race around the world. He was an
unknown 29-year old Merchant Navy Officer. Ten and a half months
later he sailed back into Falmouth, the only finisher in the race
and the first man to complete a non-stop solo circumnavigation.
Since then he has had an illustrious sailing career, with 3 further
circumnavigations, including the fastest circumnavigation and last
racing solo round the world in 2007, aged 68. Few people have
sailed as many miles as Robin. Now, 50 years since setting out on
the Golden Globe Race, you can benefit from Robin's wealth of
experience as he shares his thoughts on seamanship and seafaring in
this new book, selected from his most provoking, insightful and
perceptive writing from the pages of Yachting World magazine. The
first half of the book concentrates on seamanship and looks at the
skills and gear required. The second half allows Robin to reminisce
on memorable boats, races and places he has experienced in his last
50 years of seafaring. The book starts with an original piece by
Robin reflecting on the last 50 years.
