ISBN: 9780340004845.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work tells the story of Frances Chichester, who aged 65, set out alone from Plymouth in his 53-foot ketch \"Gypsy Moth VI\" in August 1966 and sailed eastward around the world through the wild Southern Ocean, stopping only once - the first to accomplish this - in Sydney. Only nine yachts had previously circumnavigated by way of Cape Horn, and of them six had been capsized or somersaulted at least once. This 28,000-mile voyage, completed in May 1967, established new records for speed and endurance, captured the imagination of the world, and earned a knighthood for Chichester upon his return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255174979637,"sku":"ByrdShop_0340004843","price":65.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780340004845_3bdd1d73-c691-4479-88d9-17034d7058fa.jpg?v=1779924035","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/gipsy-moth-circles-the-world-the-sixty-five-year-old-navigators-own-account-of-his-226-day-lone-voyage-including-the-conquest-of-cape-horn-9780340004845","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
