Story of the 1998 Sydney to Hobart race.
This is a fantastic story, compelling and heroic. Reading it you feel like you're in the middle of this disaster.
Warning, however, the first 40 pages are turgid and I nearly gave up on it (loads of stuff about how xyz was a man's man, living in a man's world and doing manly things in the way a man does etc etc).
Persevere though -it's well worth the ride.
