This is a copy of the first American edition of The Romantic Challenge, by the famed pioneering British aviator, cartographer and sailor Sir Francis Chichester (1901-1972). He was knighted for becoming the first person to sail single-handed around the world by the clipper route and the fastest circumnavigator, in nine months and one day overall in 1966–67.
This is the thrilling story of Chichester's attempt to make the fastest crossing of the Atlantic from Bissau, Portuguese Guinea to San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua-4,000 miles in 20 days. He was 69 when he made this voyage in Gypsy Moth V, and both men and boat were tested to the limits of their endurance.
350 pages with lots of photos and drawings. Unclipped dust jacket, one dogear, some darkening of the pages. Otherwise excellent condition.NOTE: My quoted price for shipping OUTSIDE of North America is for surface mail without tracking. For other shipping options, please contact me.
