Description:Yachting journalist Rebecca Hayter followed the career of her friend and solo sailor Chris Sayer for more than 10 years as he set out to win the Mini Transat 650 Race across the Atlantic. When he completed the build of his first Mini 650, Essentially, later renamed Navman, it was the first Mini 650 he had ever seen.When he arrived with his strange-looking boat in France, some competitors laughed at him, but they had to stop laughing when he became the first non-Frenchman in 20 years to stand on the podium.Chris Sayer returned to the race for another attempt, having built a second boat, from which he was rescued in the mid-Tasman after losing its keel, and built a third boat. Oceans Alone is a story of extraordinary tenacity, a shoestring budget and some of the best yacht design brains in New Zealand. It's been flagged as the only book in the English language that describes how to tack and gybe a Mini Transat.Rebecca Hayter followed the story throughout and sailed overnight with Chris on all his boats to research properly just how miserable it can be on a Mini Transat 650 in rough weather - and why they capsize if you get a gybe wrong. After writing this boat, she's an expert on both.Only a few copies left, but Oceans Alone may soon be available as an e-book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
