Six sailors died., " A compelling story, well written and meticulously researched." --"Cruising World" One of the world' s three great ocean sailing competitions, the annual 600-mile race from Sydney, Australia, to Hobart, Tasmania, pits sailboats against the notoriously rough waters of Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea. The 115 boats leaving Sydney Harbor on December 26, 1998, expected rough weather, but the gale that caught the boats well at sea in the predawn hours of December 27 was anything but routine.

Fifty-seven sailors were plucked from the decks of broken boats or from the sea itself under impossible conditions. Six sailors died., Written by a seasoned journalist who covered the disastrous 1998 Sydney-Hobart yacht race, this international bestseller contains haunting images that are both vivid and unforgettable--the scream of the wind, the roar of the waves, the last sight of a lost crew member floating face down while his boat is swept away.
