McGraw-Hill Australia, East Roseville, Sydney - ISBN:0074703315, 1996. hardcover, 7¼" x 9¾", with dust jacket. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket. Alan Nebauer tells of his remarkable experiences in the 1994-5 BOC Around the World Race for single-handed sailors. He was aboard the 50ft (15.2m) 'Newcastle Australia' and had to endure incredible difficulties in a race that lasted almost 8 months and covered 27,000 nautical miles. He rescued a fellow competitor, rounded Cape Horn with a jury rig, lost his rudder north of the Falkland Islands … and deservedly won two awards.
