In the fall of 1968, Donald Crowhurst set out from England in his untested trimaran, a competitor in the first single-handed nonstop around-the-world sailboat race. Eight months later, the boat was found in mid-Atlantic with no one on board. This journalistic masterpiece reconstructs what really happened and provides details on one of the greatest hoaxes of our time. pp. 317 48 illustrations. #290522
