Summary

Forty-seven yachts crossed the starting line for the GBP 100,000 Tristar, the ocean race to be held in the northern winter - 8,000 miles of sailing from Plymouth to the Azores, the West Indies, Newfoundland and back to Plymouth. To compete, Martin Savage gave up everything. But he was on the way to achieving his greatest ambition.

Sea Fever by Antony Trew

The glory and terror of a small ketch battling against the huge seas and fierce winds of the North Atlantic in winter is evoked, as are psychological and emotional pressures on a man and woman inescapably confined in a tiny space, their moods alternating between fear and elation, hatred and resentment, love and desire.
Antony Trew spent many years at sea. During the 1939-45 war he served with the Mediteranian Fleet in the 22nd Anti-Submarine Group and in the Western Approaches where he commanded the destroyer Walker, principally on Russian convoys. He was awarded the DSC and died in 1996. His highly successful career as a novelist began with the sensationally best-selling Two Hours to Darkness in 1963. After that he wrote many novels, mainly about the sea.
