About this listen

By the same author as the best-selling Total Loss, this is a new collection of terrifying and compelling accounts of yachts lost at sea. The seven deadly causes of loss continue to take their toll, and Paul Gelder has compiled firsthand accounts of shipwreck and sinking caused by collision, gear failure, stress of weather, faulty navigation, fire, crew failure, and exhaustion. The moving, emotionally charged descriptions of shipwrecked sailors abandoning their yachts at sea will have you on the edge of your seat.

But these accounts are more than just gripping tales of disaster - they carry valuable lessons which the survivors have been able to pass on to all who go to sea for pleasure.

the narrator has a perfect style for this, in my view. he's understated, cool, able to sharpen the edge and convey sadness, crisis, and back to calm and safety. the chapters - each a record in the words of individual sailors of hardship and challenge afloat - ending in losses of their boats, and sometimes their dreams, egos, plans - are diverse, honestly told, and enthrallingly told. and rounded off with lessons learned.. great stuff

narrator is exceptional, stories great
