Atlantic High
By: Buckley, William F., Jr.
Published by: RosettaBooks

Ostensibly the tale of his 1980 voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic High is William F. Buckley's extended meditation on the pleasures of sailing and good company. Not surprisingly, as much thought seems to have gone into stocking the wine cellar as to charting out the route. Kon-Tiki, this is not, but nor is it meant to be. Instead, it is an essay on appreciation, and a chance for Buckley to share his spirited point of view and exercise his unique sense of humor. more...

A Voyage For Madmen
By: Nichols, Peter
Published by: Harper Collins

In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones, satellite dishes, and electronic positioning systems. A Voyage for Madmen is a tale of sailors driven by their own dreams and demons, of horrific storms in the Southern Ocean, and of those riveting moments when a split-second decision means the difference between life and death. more...

By: Cookman, Scott
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Inc

The incredible story of the legendary 1905 international yacht race for supremacy on the high seas. Cookman is equally adept at depicting the gut-wrenching tension of ocean racing, the politics, intrigues, skullduggery of billionaires, society snobs, and sailors who make Captain Ahab seem the model of restraint, and a gilded, vanished era under the gathering storm clouds of war. Neil Hanson, author of The Custom of the Sea - 'It was the last and greatest yacht race of a gilded age: the emperor of Germany, two British lords, and eight American billionaires racing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to win a solid-gold trophy cup.' more...
