Die hauptsächliche Faszination üben in diesem Buch die beeindruckenden photographischen Einblicke ins Hochsee-Segeln aus. Boris Herrmanns Randnotizen hätten für meinen Geschmack ausführlicher, aber vor allem chronologisch arrangiert sein dürfen. Was wirklich schade ist, da er in Interviews fesselnd, wortgewandt und verständlich erzählt. Stattdessen fällt hierin derart viel Fachvokabular, dass ich damit hoffnungslos überfordert war. - Aber macht nichts - nur so kann man dazulernen.

Really enjoyed the photographs but I would prefer a more "dense" book.
