Into the Wind: Around Alone, The Story of the World's Longest Race

In the summer of 1998, 16 solo skippers set off from the Charleston Maritime Centre on the 27,000-mile Around Alone Race. Battling time, frigid cold, isolation, and waves as tall as buildings, they raced from South Carolina to South Africa, New Zealand, and South America facing the unexpected as well as harsh conditions. The former Russian commando was forced to perform surgery on himself while his yacht crashed through the Atlantic. The famous Isabelle Autissier found herself upside down in the wild Southern Ocean, and a fellow sailor braved furious seas to rescue her. All these stories, and more, are here in vivid detail.
