Gordon Bennett and the First Yacht Race Across the Atlantic

A Voyage in a Lost Son’s Wake Paul Heiney After his son committed suicide aged only 23, television presenter Paul Heiney decided to set sail on a solo voyage to Cape Horn to connect with his son's 'voice'. Not only a hugely challenging experience physically, this turned out to be an emotional journey of much more importance. A poignant and moving read.

Behind many a great sea story is a real-life adventure that inspired it, and Sea Fever explores the dangerous, exciting and often eccentric escapades of literature's sailing stars, giving us a fascinating insight into how fact fed into fiction.
