Sail the World takes readers through the whole process of what is required to sail around the world in comfort and style. It explains the skills required, the selection of a boat that is up to the task, the necessary equipment, and the planning required for world cruising. Costs are discussed as well as the type of ownership, taxes, insurance, and governmental requirements. The nitty-gritty of maintenance and provisioning are covered. Weather and heavy weather sailing are presented based on first-hand experience. Cruising risks, including pirates, are laid bare. All of this is supported with examples of the author's experience. There are many stories, or examples, of the type of experiences that can be encountered. The good, and the not so good, are presented.It is a real how-to guide covering all aspects of a life changing adventure. It is not a travel guide as there are other sources for that type of information. But it will encourage and inspire the reader to take the plunge and "slip the lines" for a truly remarkable experience that few have actually accomplished. It is a unique book as no other book covers the breadth of subjects in such detail.

Facing Fear is the inspiring true story of Lisa Blair, who on 25 July 2017 became the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica. She very nearly didn’t live to tell the tale.

The first lone circumnavigation of the globe under sail This book is widely regarded a classic of sailing literature because it is an account written by the sailor who made the first solo navigation of the globe under sail. A biography of Joshua Slocum would make riveting reading in its own right, for inherent in him were all the attributes of the ideal seaman of the latter half of the nineteenth century. An unquenchable spirit of adventure propelled him through many voyages and hairsbreadth escapes from the forces of nature and pirates. In 1895 he set sail from America in 'Spray, ' a 36' 9'' gaff rigged sloop oyster boat he had rebuilt himself. Navigating mainly without using his chronometer and only by 'dead-reckoning' Slocum sailed 'Spray' without actually touching the helm. His circumnavigation, which took three years to complete, covered a distance of some 46,000 miles. His triumphant return to America went virtually unnoticed-because the newspapers were focussed on the recent outbreak of war between Spain and America. This book, detailing his epic voyage and many adventures, was written shortly after his return, was serialised in magazines and became a rapid bestseller, earning glowing encomiums from many notably figures, especially from highly regarded authors of the time, including Arthur Ransome and Mark Twain, which elevated Joshua Slocum to international fame. This edition of his work is beautifully illustrated and is available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket. Leonaur hard covers are cloth bound with gold foil lettering on their spines and feature cloth head and tail bands making them ideal for collections or to be presented as a forever treasured gift.
