"Singlehanded sailing has a long and exciting history. Voyages have been made for sport, recognition or personal gain. Some epic solo voyages were accidental. Claims of unique or fast passages abound in this book, and today's singlehanded voyages - racing and cruising - should be weighted against the feats of Slocum, Dumas, Guzzwell and others of that distinguished fraternity. Originally published as An Evolution of Singlehanders." |
