Memories of the open sea / Eric Tabarly ; translated by Robert Pralle.

"Eric Tabarly became a legend in international sailing from the moment he won the second single-handed Transatlantic race, vanquishing the 1960 winner, Sir Francis Chichester. The lend was secured by a 'comeback' victory in the race's 1976 edition. It is this heroic twelve-year period of success (and failure) aboard the revolutionary designs - Pen Duicks II to VI - that lies at the heart of his engagingly direct autobiography."
