Left For Dead - Nick Ward

[misterg]

Just finished this, and found it very moving. If anyone doesn't know, it relates to the events around the abandoning of the Yacht Grimalkin in the '79 Fastnet race. Very well written (he had assistance), and gripping, it goes beyond anything else I've read about the race, and IMHO ranks alongside Joe Simpson's epic mountaineering survival story "Touching The Void".

Thoroughly recommended.

I'll second that, a great read. Brought a tear to my eye on a couple of occasions.
