More About the Author
Product Description
Review
‘…accompanied by excellent photos…a super book that examines a hundred different scenarios…’ (Sailing Today, January 2010).
Product Description
Do you dream of sailing around one of the Great Capes? Would you like to cruise up the Amazon or cross the Pacific on a windsurfer? How about competing in the America’s Cup or Volvo Ocean Race? These are just a few of the 100 extraordinary experiences included in Ultimate Sailing Adventures.
There are more modest adventures too: share the experience of competing among almost 2,000 yachts in a race that is open to all or get a feel for cruising among the epic scenery of Desolation Sound.
Ultimate Sailing Adventures takes you from Lake Titicaca to the Arctic Circle and from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the icebergs and mountainous seas of the Southern Ocean. Try an eco–charter in Thailand or step aboard the sexiest yacht in the world. Lively writing puts you at the helm while stunning photography brings each adventure to life.
· Epic ocean crossings
· Staggering solo challenges
· Famous capes and headlands
· The world’s greatest yacht races
· Wildlife wonders and amazing natural phenomena
Whether an armchair sailor or a hero of the high seas, there will be plenty to entertain and inspire as you set sail for the most unforgettable sailing experiences on the planet.
Miles Kendall is a journalist and author specialising in yachts and yachting. He has 30 years of sailing experience and as deputy editor of Yachting Monthly magazine he travelled the world, writing about every aspect of this exciting sport.

I was given this book for my birthday and I loved it. Loved it. I have just started sailing and this book has really inspired me to crack on. The quality of the writing / pictures is superb too.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for anyone who loves the sea or is interested in adventures around the world. I bought it for a sailing friend but it's a fascinating and enjoyable read even if you've never set foot on a boat. Really informative, with enough factual detail to give you a feel for whether you'd want to attempt any of the adventures yourself and a bit of sailing history, but also an entertaining read. There's a range of boating related adventures, not just traditional yaghting, all of them with large, inspiring photos. I thought it was really good value and highly recommend it.

Perfect for taking you mind off things
Bought this for a mate who is a keen sailor, but currently with the army out in Afghanistan. He loves it. It has been the perfect book to take with him for a bit of escapism. Read more
