Just finished The Mary Deare by Hammond Innes, a grand sea thriller of the old school.
If I remember correctly Innes made a packet out of this book and it gave him the cash to build an offshore racer called - Mary Deare.

Excellent book -very well written, moves along at a cracking pace and leaves one with a head full of questions afterwards!

A Race Too Far by Chris Eakin.

Story of the 1968 Golden Globe, harrowing enough for me to have to put it down near the end of the book for a day or so before I could finish it...

Submarine : an anthology of first-hand accounts of the war under the sea, 1939-1945 / edited by Jean Hood.

First hand accounts of what it was like to be a submariner, of all nations, during the second world war. Just started this, but what a breed apart those guys were/are.
