Come Hell Or High Water By Clare Francis

Minimum Donation €8.00

In June 1976, Clare Francis set out from Plymouth in her 38-foot boat, Robertson’s Golly, in one of the most gruelling singlehanded boat races – the Observer Royal Western Transatlantic Race. And, twenty-nine days later, she reached Newport on the coast of Nova Scotia, to become the women’s record holder and the smallest person ever to sail the Atlantic alone. This is Clare Francis’s remarkable story. With a clarity that seems to put the reader at her side, she tells of her trials and tribulations against the elements during those four solitary weeks on the sea. She recalls her hopes and fears, the devastating effects of loneliness, and the terrors of the gales and mountainous storm-waves that had her fighting merely to survive
