Summary

In the extreme sport of blue water, or, open ocean, yacht racing, the Sydney to Hobart challenge is considered one of the most treacherous races in the world. 1998 proved why. Slammed by a sudden freak storm that unleashed 100 mph winds and waves over 90 feet all, twenty-four boats were abandoned at sea as hundreds of sailors fought for their lives. This is the riveting story of that tragic race - the punishing storm, the heroic rescues, the grim loss of life - and a thought-provoking look at the people who risked families and fortunes for victory.
