Opis

Account of the 1996-97 Vendee Globe round-the-world yacht race - interviews with the sailors, intercut with descriptions of meteorology and physics of the sea. It covers how we are drawn to the sea and how it repels us, how storms are born, architecture of boats and why people risk their lives to sail.
