In 1960 when Sir Francis Chichester first raced singlehanded across theAtlantic it was widely regarded as a voyage only for the insane. Nowadays theSinglehanded Transatlantic Race is not only accorded the greatest of respectbut its also recognized as a true test of stamina seamanship and navigation.But this doesnt mean that its exclusively a race for heroes. In 2005 PaulHeiney an amateur sailor by any measure entered the race to prove that thespirit of the transatlantic pioneers can still get you from one side of theAtlantic to the other if you try hard enough. He sailed in a standard familycruiser in which he had the utmost confidence but his trust in his ownabilities was much less certain. The Last Man Across the Atlantic is anengrossing account of what it was like to be out there alone. «
