Synopsis

By the same author as the bestselling Total Loss, this is a new collection of terrifying and compelling accounts of yachts lost at sea. The seven deadly causes of loss continue to take their toll, and Paul Gelder has compiled first-hand accounts of shipwreck and sinking caused by Collision, Gear Failure, Stress of Weather, Faulty Navigation, Fire, Crew Failure and Exhaustion. The moving, emotionally charged descriptions of shipwrecked sailors abandoning their yachts at sea will have you on the edge of your seat. But these accounts are more than just gripping tales of disaster - they carry valuable lessons which the survivors have been able to pass on to all who go to sea for pleasure. Praise for Total Loss: 'The tales provide gripping if sometimes unsettling reading and many valuable lessons.' - Cruising World 'Sure, you can learn from your own mistakes, but wouldn't you rather learn from theirs?' - Sailing

Paul Gelder, editor of Yachting Monthly for 10 years – from 2002 to February 2012 – is no stranger to disaster at sea. He has edited two best-selling anthologies of true-life sailing disasters, Total Loss, plus its companion volume, Sunk Without Trace (Adlard Coles Nautical). He has also written three books on round the world sailing events, including The Loneliest Race, covering the 1994–95 BOC Around Alone race, and Gipsy Moth IV: A Legend Sails Again (Wiley Nautical). He was presented with the Ocean Cruising Club's Award of Merit in 2005 for launching the campaign to save Sir Francis Chichester's famous ketch Gipsy Moth IV, which sailed around the world on the 40th anniversary of her first epic voyage.
