'The moving, emotionally charged descriptions of shipwrecked sailors abandoning their yachts at sea will have you on the edge of your seat. But these accounts are more than just gripping tales of disaster - they carry valuable lessons, which the survivors have been able to pass on to all who go to sea for pleasure.'

All at Sea (April 2010)

'inspirational tales of human survival'

Yachting Monthly (2010)

'...these are accounts of superb seamanship that prevented any loss of life...read this book.'

The Little Ship Club (Winter 2010)

'offers up lots of experience for skippers to prepare for a long voyage at sea'

Ontario Sailor Magazine (Aug/Sept 2010)

'While these accounts are not of the travails of working vessels, they are instructive nevertheless...The similarities between yachts and work boats make it worth reading this interesting little book.'
