Produktbeschreibung

A real-life adventure story about Alexei and Nikolai, who travel to Australia in order to bring back to Kiev "Gonta," a sailboat which they had built with their own hands. The sailboat was made to win professional races in one of the toughest ocean environments in the world: the Australian coast. Shipped off to far-away Perth, Gonta was eventually forgotten by everyone, except her creators. With little money, no sailing experience and no knowledge of the English language, Alexei and Nikolai set out on a year-long adventure of a lifetime, with one goal: to bring Gonta back to Kiev. This is a true story of friendship, human courage and survival under extreme conditions in the freezing ocean waters.
