Left For Dead
Survival at Sea
Left for Dead: 30 Years On - The Race is Finally Over is a gripping account of survival and resilience in the face of one of the deadliest storms in modern sailing history.
A Story of Triumph Over Tragedy
This updated edition recounts Nick Ward's harrowing experience in the 1979 Fastnet Race, where a devastating storm claimed the lives of fifteen sailors. After his yacht, Grimalkin, was repeatedly capsized, Nick was left unconscious and presumed dead. Against all odds, he survived the storm alone, only to face years of physical and emotional recovery.
What Lies Within
This book takes you on a journey through:
- The excitement and anticipation of Nick's childhood dream to compete in the Fastnet Race.
- The terrifying reality of facing a Force 10 storm at sea.
- The harrowing struggle for survival as Grimalkin is battered by the elements.
- The devastating loss of fellow crew members.
- Nick's remarkable resilience and eventual recovery.
- His triumphant return to the Fastnet Race 30 years later.
Left for Dead is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. It's a must-read for anyone interested in sailing, survival stories, or the power of the human will.
