Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 220 pp. Very Good+, with slight fading to edges and small former owner signiture, in a Near-Fine, mylar protected dust jacket with slightest rubbing to edges. “Forty-seven yachts crossed the starting line for the Tristar, the first single-handed ocean race to be held in the northern winter -- 8,000 miles of sailing from Plymouth to the Azores, the West Indies, Newfoundland and back to Plymouth...Antony Trew vividly evokes the glory and terror of a small ketch battling against the huge seas and fierce winds of the North Atlantic in winter and the psychological and emotional pressures on a man and woman inescapably confined in a tiny space...both an enthralling sea adventure and a powerful human drama.
