When an ocean race became a survival battle

Good Condition - Light cover wear, some page tanning and a handwritten name inside. Otherwise pages are clean and tidy.

The 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race began as a familiar sporting spectacle and became a catastrophe when the fleet encountered a ferocious storm. Boats were overwhelmed by violent seas and powerful winds, sailors faced desperate decisions, and a major search and rescue operation struggled to reach those in danger. Rob Mundle reconstructs the unfolding disaster through interviews with competitors, officials, survivors and rescue personnel, placing the personal stories within the history and demands of offshore racing. With a foreword by Sir James Hardy, this nonfiction account follows both the tragedy at sea and the courage of those who answered the calls for help, capturing the human cost of a race transformed by extreme weather.
