Résumé:
"Here is satisfying adventure reading combined with
practical analysis of what put yachts in distress & how it
might have been avoided. "The book is full of stories &
lessons not only about storms, personal terror & aberrant
personalities, but about the groundings & simple
carelessness that can befall any ordinary boater. Read it for
entertainment or for knowledge, you are sure to be pleased
either way. The volume also serves as a good introduction to
the many books that tell the full story of the sinkings, fires,
shipwrecks & disasters summarized here." Dockside
