Yacht Worippa - Paperback

by Christopher Robin Cook (Author)

The Southern Ocean, the Roaring Forties, and the notoriously dangerous West Coast of Tasmania. The yacht, Worippa, is returning to Melbourne, her home port, after competing in the infamous Melbourne-to-Hobart yacht race. You would think this to be a novel of the ocean, of the romance of the sea, and of blue-water sailing . . . and it is. It is also a magnificent compelling adventure about life, love, passion, humour, disharmony, and the human spirit - and its frailties!
