[Ben Boulden · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent late-1980s mystery set in the world of yacht racing. It reads a little like Dick Francis mixed with Desmond Bagley. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed this book. When I saw it was about sailing, something I know nothing about, I wasn't sure I'd like it. A good exciting adventure, with interesting characters.
