Unlike me, some of you will find you have extra time on your hands whilst working from home or your boat. Below are a few recommendations for the best sailing books that, in my opinion, you should give some shelf space to.
In 5 days time 18 sailors will leave Les Sables-d’Olonne in western France to circumnavigate the globe. A journey of 30,000 nautical miles, they must travel alone, non-stop and without any outside assistance, that is to say without any modern technology or the benefit of satellite-based navigation equipment. As if that wasn’t challenging enough they have to sail in a similar vessel to those that took part in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race some 50 years ago.
