A little departure from the site’s theme. An excerpt from a book about the worst disaster in the sport of ocean racing:
On Aug. 11, 1979, a team of Canadian sailors set out on a 600-mile race from England to an island off the Irish coast called Fastnet Rock. A weather bomb of near-hurricane force descended on the fleet; ultimately 15 people died and 25 boats were abandoned in what remains the worst disaster in the sport of ocean racing.
Full excerpt here. Buy book from Amazon.ca for $23.30 can here. Well Worth reading!
