Description

This timeless classic is an exciting true story of survival against all odds.'There was a sudden sickening sense of disaster.

I felt a great lurch and heel, and a thunder of sound filled my ears.

I was conscious, in a terrified moment, of being driven into the front and side of my bunk with tremendous force.

At the same time there was a tearing cracking sound, as if Tzu Hang was being ripped apart, and water burst solidly, raging into the cabin.

There was darkness, black boards, and I fought wildly to get out, thinking Tzu Hang had already gone.

Then suddenly I was standing again, waist deep in water, and floorboards and cushions, mattresses and books were sloshing in wild confusion round me.'Miles Smeeton and his wife Beryl sailed their 46-ft Bermuda ketch, Tzu Hang, in the wild seas of Cape Horn, following the tracks of the old sailing clippers through the world's most notorious waters.

This is an exciting true story of survival against all odds, but it is also a thoughtful book which provides hard-learned lessons for other intrepid sailors.As Nevil Shute writes in his foreword: 'It has been left to Miles Smeeton to tell us in clear and simple language just where the limits of safety lie.'
