Gipsy Moth Circles the World (The Sailor's Classics #1) Hardcover - 2000

by Sir Francis Chichester; Jonathan Raban


From the publisher

This work tells the story of Frances Chicester, who aged 65, set out alone from Plymouth in his 53-foot ketch Gypsy Moth VI in August 1966 and sailed eastward around the world through the wild Southern Ocean, stopping only once - the first to accomplish this - in Sydney. Only nine yachts had previously circumnavigated by way of Cape Horn, and of them six had been capsized or somersaulted at least once. This 28,000-mile voyage, completed in May 1967, established new records for speed and endurance, captured the imagination of the world, and earned a knighthood for Chichester upon his return.

Description:
"When 65-year-old Francis Chichester set sail on his solitary, eastward journey around the world in 1966, many believed he wouldnt return alive. But when the old man returned in his 53-foot ketch Gypsy Moth IV nine months later, he had made historyas the fastest circum navigation. Gipsy Moth Circles the World was an international best-seller when it appeared in 1967.It inspired the first solo around-the-world race and remains a timeless testament to the spirit of adventure.The Sailors Classics presents the best writing about the sea as observed from the perspective of a small boat under sail. The stories range from pensive cruises in sheltered waters to tales of endurance and high adventure and each one features an introduction from Jonathan Raban, whom The Guardian has called the finest writer afloat since Conrad." - bookfinder
