Atlantic Crossing

Short Handed Sailing by Alastair Buchan, very practical and hands on book about him doing it in a Hurley or similar type. (Dockrell?) The book stands out in my memory as being excellent, although I had to look up the spelling of his christian name, can't you chaps standardise?

It looks a great find. Also try Paul Heiney - The Last Man Across the Atlantic. Enjoyable yarn.
