Found an official web site dedicated to him.

Very good. States what's true and what is exaggerated.

Certainly a successful author. And and single handed sailor gets some of my respect.

So he should James, sadly there are many that are way too keen to denigrate him, though why they feel they want to is beyond me? Some folks are just plain mean spirited I guess. I doubt he cuts much ice with many of the plastic fantastic herberts within these fora, but it don't matter a damn, if they was half the sailors Triston was, they would have summat to be proud of. :-) Hope you enjoy him enough to want to read more of his books, in my humble (though not always) opinion, I think "The Fantastic Voyage is probably one of his best, his tome on single handed sailing is worth a read too..."One Hand For Yourself and One For The Ship". Loads of good common sense stuff. Looks about furtively............Pssssst! and not a bloody computer or Whizzo Chart Plotter anywhere to be found within it's pages!
