«A Voyage for Madmen» is Peter Nichols's essay on nautical history and adventure, published by Profile Books Ltd in paperback (288 pages, in English).
In 1968, nine sailors accepted the challenge of circumnavigating the world by sail alone and without stops, a feat never before achieved. The undertaking confronted them with storms, isolation, and their own limits; after ten months, only one crossed the finish line, while the others met failure, madness, or death.
The 1968 race brought together nine men: six Englishmen, two Frenchmen, and one Italian. The work was originally published in 1997.
A read for fans of maritime history, survival stories, and real extreme adventures.
