Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "In Quest of the Sun" is a classic maritime narrative documenting Alain Gerbault's remarkable solo circumnavigation of the globe. Following his initial crossing of the Atlantic, Gerbault embarked on an ambitious journey aboard his eight-ton cutter, "Firecrest", navigating the treacherous waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This firsthand account offers an intimate look at the physical and mental challenges of solo sailing in the early 20th century.Gerbault describes his encounters with diverse cultures across the South Seas, the technical difficulties of maintaining a small vessel alone at sea, and the profound solitude of the open ocean. A professional tennis player turned legendary yachtsman, Gerbault's prose captures the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of freedom on the high seas. This work remains a foundational text in the literature of single-handed sailing, providing inspiration for generations of voyagers and enthusiasts of maritime history. Readers will find a compelling blend of nautical detail, geographical observation, and personal reflection that defines the golden age of yachting exploration.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
