Cape Horn by Robin Knox-Johnston
The history of Cape Horn from the days of Magellan and Drake, through the scientific exploration of Darwin, to the development of a trade route in the heyday of the clipper trade, its decline after the opening of the Panama Canal, and its attraction as the sailing challenge for the yachtsman.Brendan Hall began sailing at the age of four in his home waters off Brisbane, and was 27 years old when the 2009/10 Clipper Race began. He transformed a motley crew of 18 amateur sailors into a race-winning sailing machine, as well as battling hurricane conditions and gear failure, and rescued two other yachts in the North Pacific Ocean.
