Les Powles only had 8 hours of sailing experience when he decided to sail solo around the world. Many novices would be content to just dream of such an adventure, & maybe get as far as a solo Channel crossing a couple of years down the line. Not so Les Powles, one of the twentieth century`s most extraordinary & eccentric sailors. Les was in his 50s when he built himself a yacht with little prior knowledge of boatbuilding. Remarkably he made it across the Atlantic, though his navigation skills didn`t match his boatbuilding abilities; his first landfall was Brazil. He`d been aiming for Barbados
- 100 miles north, & in a different hemisphere! Three complete solo circumnavigations followed, all of them full of incident. The last one saw him given up for dead when he hadn`t been heard from for four months. His boat had been damaged in a storm, he`d lost all communications & had virtually run out of food. When he sailed up the Lymington River (aged 70) in a skeletal state his arrival caused a media frenzy. Lymington Yacht Haven subsequently gave him a free berth for life.A terrific achiever who has beaten the odds, Les Powles tells his story in a lively, entertaining, humorous & compelling way. It will resonate with sailors & non sailors alike, & may inspire one of them to become the twenty-first century`s Les Powles.
