Sunk Without Trace

By the same author as the bestselling Total Loss,

this is a new collection of terrifying and compelling accounts of

yachts lost at sea. The seven deadly causes of loss continue to take

their toll, and Paul Gelder has compiled first-hand accounts of

shipwreck and sinking caused by Collision, Gear Failure, Stress of

Weather, Faulty Navigation, Fire, Crew Failure and Exhaustion.





The moving, emotionally charged descriptions of shipwrecked sailors

abandoning their yachts at sea will have you on the edge of your seat.

But these accounts are more than just gripping tales of disaster - they

carry valuable lessons which the survivors have been able to pass on to

all who go to sea for pleasure.
