Chay Blyth (118 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Chay Blyth sailed round the world against the prevailing winds and currents, it was dubbed "the impossible voyage". Twenty years after this feat, Blyth had the idea of building ten yachts and training 140 people to race along the same route - most of thm novices who had never sailed a boat before. Chay Blyth and Elaine Thompson relate the story of the British Steel Challenge, and how the amateur crews and the professionals behind them rose to the challenge. In September 1992, a fleet of 67-foot steel yachts set off across the world's most hostile waters. Their course took them past the Doldrums, across the Equator to the waters off Cape Horn, Tasmania, Cape Town and eventually back to Southampton. The nine-month voyage promised unrivalled adversity, yet what was first heralded as a reckless folly has become one of the greatest feats of seamanship in history. Chay Blyth is the author of "The Impossible Voyage". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

"This is a book about one boat's part in an exciting ocean race, about the exhilaration of creaming along in the trade winds, the suspense of broaching in the Southern Ocean, the pride of sailing round the world faster than anyone else. But is is also about the transformation of a bunch of paras, most of whom had never put to sea before. When they put a reef in the mainsail on the first leg of the race it took them half-an-hour. Doing the same job on the last took seven minutes. Chay Blyth had moulded them into a hard-working, tough and dedicated crew, who could handle a 77-foot boat and give the best ocean racers in the business a real run for their money. And in the end - theirs is the glory. Weight: 485g.…
