Francis Chichester

4.9/5 (15836 ratings)

Description:In June 1962 Francis Chichester set out from Plymouth once again to cross the Atlantic single-handed in his 13-ton yacht, Gipsy Moth III, in an attempt to beat the 40-day record he set up himself in 1960. He succeeded, and knocked nearly a week off his previous time. Chichester also made history on his voyage by keeping in daily contact with Britain by means of a small battery-operated radio-telephone which enabled the Guardian, the sponsors of the voyage, to publish daily extracts from his log. Edited by the Guardian’s Yachting Editor, J. R. L. Anderson, this book, Chichester’s own day-by-day narrative of that adventurous journey, threatened by gales, icebergs and fog, is the drama of one man fighting his way alone across the North Atlantic. It is one of the great stories of the sea. Aviator and sailor Sir Francis Chichester is best known for being the first and fastest person to sail around the globe singlehandedly in the Gipsy Moth IV. Following this achievement he wrote several books about his sailing experience, four of which have now been republished by Bello.‘a magnificent achievement’ Guardian ‘hard to put down’ Times Literary Supplement ‘good-natured, informal and totally unpretentious book’ ObserverWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
