In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race 2018 and the CA’s involvement with and support for its Patron Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, we are giving away two copies of Peter Nichols’ sailing classic A Voyage for Madmen, a book, published by Profile Books, detailing the extraordinary story behind the inaugural Golden Globe round-the-world sailing race of 1968, a Race which was won by Sir Robin, the first man to sail solo non-stop around the world and arrive back in Falmouth 10 months later on 22nd April 1969.
A Voyage for Madmen is a gripping sea-faring account of how nine men set out to sail around the world alone on a non-stop mission. It was a race before the time of today’s high-tech sails: no one had ever done it, and no one knew if it could be done. It’s a dramatic tale of human endurance, told with page-turning flair.
