12-Metre Images
FISHER, Bob
Pierson & Co Sydney 1986 First Edition
4t Hard Cover Publishers original brown cloth with silver gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Photographic endpapers, SIGNED BY AUTHOR on front endpaper. 157pp profusely illustrated with colour photographs throughout the text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. In the modern world of sailing, 12-Metre yachts have no right to exist. Yet they do and they are proliferating, their existence guaranteed by one prestigious event held every three years - The America's Cup. The beauty of the 12-Metre yacht is unmistakable. Bob Fisher's camera has sought these anachronistic craft in a variety of conditions and locations. He has watched the boats and talked with their sailors and designers, absorbing many hitherto unrevealed anecdotes of the 12-Metre world. He has used this first hand information to provide an absorbing commentary to his pictures and a background to the men and boats that take part in the greatest, and most expensive, sporting challenge in the world. The result is a stunning celebration of 12-Metre racing and deserves a place on every sailor's bookshelf. This book has also been SIGNED by Bob Fisher Very Good

1788; THE BRUTAL TRUTH OF THE FIRST FLEET
Hill David
ISBN: 9781741667974
William Heinemann 2008 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Paperback As New condition. "Never before or since has there been an experiment quite as bold as this. Eleven of the tiniest ships sailed for eight months over the roughest of seas, carrying fifteen hundred people, food for two years and all the equipment needed to build a colony of convicts in a land completely beyond their experience and imagination. In Portsmouth the fleet's preparation was characterised by disease, promiscuity and death. The journey itself was one of unbearable hardship, but also of extraordinary resilience, with the majority of settlers and exiles making it alive to the new colony at Sydney Cove. There, however, they faced their biggest challenge of all; conflict, starvation and despair." As New

66 Days Adrift: A True Story of Disaster and Survival on the Open Sea
Butler, William
ISBN: 0071438742
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press January 18, 2005
8vo softcover 288pp very good. po inscription on ffl. A Powerful Account of Struggle and Survival at Sea. The lure of paradise was unmistakable, and Bill Butler was on a quest to find it with his wife Simonne-riding the Pacific currents on their sloop Siboney, with a world of possibilities ahead. But, twelve hundred miles from land, the alluring ocean showed its deadly side when, without warning, a pod of pilot whales attacked their sailboat, battering it until it sank beneath the waves. The dazed couple was left drifting in midocean in a leaky six-foot raft meant for coastal waters, with only a few hastily grabbed provisions to sustain them. Simonne, who had never truly shared Bill's dream of circumnavigating the globe, blamed him bitterly for their desperate plight. In this powerful account of their 66-day odyssey, Butler tells a gritty, harrowing tale of their battles against nature, despair, and their own demons. He reveals how he and Simonne found the strength to survive despite the ravages of hunger, storms, and sharks. Based on Butler's faithful log entries, 66 Days Adrift is both a chilling cautionary tale for sailors with big ideas and an inspiring story of love, faith, and survival against long odds.
