Blue Water Warriors (eBook, ePUB)

The Early Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Blue Water Warriors tells the story of the early Sydney to Hobart yacht races. Drawing on log books and memories of the navigator on a legendary competing yacht, a living part of Australia's maritime history.

The Mistral II's crew encountered dangers and hazards not generally faced by today's competitors, without life rafts, radios and no propeller that was deliberately removed. At one point there were death-defying moments where Mistral II came terrifying close to being smashed against the tremendous cliffs of Tasman Island.

Blue Water Warriors chronicles the fierce rivalry between Mistral II and Morna, at that time the most famous yachts in Australia, and tells of more relaxed times on the return voyages to Sydney.
