Paperback. Condition: New. When Adrian Hayter set out single-handed from Lymington, England on his thirty-two-foot Albert Strange-designed yawl Sheila II, local betting was seven to one that he would get no further than the English Channel.His destination was New Zealand, and the odds were definitely against him. In 1949 perhaps only eight people had sailed solo around the world, and single-handed long-distance sailing voyages were rare. Adrian, then thirty-four, was a soldier, not a sailor.In the previous decade he had been a close observer of the Partition of India and fought as a soldier in the Second World War and the Malayan Emergency. The latter, Britain's brutal reaction to the Communist uprising of 1948, had driven his decision to sail halfway around the world, single-handed.More than sixty years later, and in the thirtieth anniversary year of Adrian's death, Lodestar Books is republishing the story of that voyage, Sheila in the Wind, first published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1959. As a sailor, Adrian recounts his foray into celestial navigation, a back-street appendix operation in India, armed escort by Indonesian authorities at sea, and eating barnacles off the hull to avoid starvation. As a writer he is trying to make sense of the humanitarian disasters that brought him to this voyage. Sheila in the Wind is more than a report of a 13,000-mile adventure; it's a story of the human spirit.…

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

In his lone six-year voyage from England to New Zealand in the 1950s, in a 1908 yawl designed by Albert Strange, the author discovers both the world and himself.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El 20 de agosto de 1950 Adrian Hayter se hizo a la mar para navegar en solitario desde de Southampton (Inglaterra) a Nueva Zelanda, su patria, en una embarcación de 9,75 metros de eslora. Recorrió el mar Mediterráneo, el mar Rojo, el océano Índico, los mares de Insulindia, bordeó Australia, atravesó el mar de Tasmania y llegó después de casi seis años a Nelson, en Nueva Zelanda. Durante mas de cinco años alternó la navegación erizada de peligros con la vida en tierra donde trabajó muchas veces para poder proseguir su travesía. Conoció los ambientes mas dispares y exóticos y tuvo que afrontar aventuras y riesgos tanto en la mar como en tierra. Hayter tocó en muchísimos puertos -Gibraltar, Malta, Colombo, Goa, Singapur, Perth. . . - y con su talento analítico y su extraordinario espíritu de observación registró las peculiaridades de las tierras visitadas. Por su audacia fue hecho prisionero por los indonesios y en una casbah estuvo a punto de morir. El relato, que nos lleva a través de incontables millas de mares y océanos, se adueña enseguida del ánimo del lector, ya que Hayter es tan excelente escritor como buen navegante. Convertido en uno de los clásicos sobre el mar, el libro de Hayter no ha perdido ninguna de las virtudes que lo hicieron un best seller mundial. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
