Description
A tiny ketch, Suhaili, slipped out of Falmouth harbour on 14 June 1968, bound for an incredible journey. Ten and a half months later, she returned to Falmouth, her paintwork peeling, sails weathered, but her crew triumphant.
Robin Knox-Johnston's non-stop solo round the world voyage was a test of nerve and determination, with every hazard and temptation coming his way. From polluted water tanks to lost self-steering gear, he fought his way through treacherous waters to reach Cape Horn, the point of no return.
A World of My Own is Robin's gripping account of this epic adventure, now reissued for a new generation of readers to be enthralled and inspired by one of the greatest sea adventures of our time.
