Fatal Storm: The Inside Story of the Tragic Sydney-Hobart Race

Rating:
Summary: Left Adrift!
Review: While I was amazed by the story of the sailors and rescuers, I was disappointed by the presentation of the material. I wasn't emotionally attached to any of the people because the individual accounts were sporadically placed. In addition, there were so many people and yachts crammed into the book, I felt I needed a flow chart to keep anyone straight. On a final note, I feel those with limited or no knowledge of yachting will struggle with the technical terms. I have no prior knowledge of yachting, and I don't feel I walked away having learned anything. I believe the author assumed an audience with a high level of nautical understanding, but it was marketed as a adventure/survival story.
