Looking for some modern sailing adventures - racing etc especially at world cup level or the around the world races.
Have read a few and would like more. Prefer non-fiction but a good novel will do.
Just finished the Search for Erewhon and while interesting was a bit trite.
I'd consider another naval series but have read both O'Brian series of 21 books ( the Aubrey-Maturin Series), the Richard Bolitho Novels by Kent and the Ramage series.
Maybe something more modern - Southern Ocean sailing adventures of course are top notch and even some search and rescues etc would do.
This was good for instance as an incredible story of survival ( interesting back story from the modern day as the journal came to light of one of the survivors only a few years back )
The Whaleship Essex: The True Story of Moby Dick ...
maybe will do some hunting here
