«La vuelta al mundo del Gipsy Moth» is Francis Chichester's travelogue, published by Editorial Juventud in paperback (264 pages).
Chichester set sail from Plymouth in August 1966 aboard the Gipsy Moth IV, a 16.5-metre ketch, intending to circumnavigate the globe single-handedly. After 107 days at sea he reached Sydney, and in May 1967 began the return voyage. This chronicle, largely written during the passage, recounts the dangers and records of one of the great maritime feats of the twentieth century.
It is part of the En el mar y la montaña collection from Editorial Juventud; this is its seventh edition (1989). The original, Gipsy Moth Circles the World, dates from 1967.
For readers interested in ocean sailing, real travel narratives and individual solo feats.
