Epic Voyage

This book cronicles the story of Drum, a 70ft Maxi yacht in the 1986 Whibread Round the World Yacht Race. Written by the captain, Skip Novak, the book details the tale from Drum's construction, to the infamous capsize, to the noble achievements made during the race. The book is informative, entertaining and funny in places, giving insight into what goes through a captain's mind during a Whitbread race. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in sailing, or just good old adventures!
