Sinopsis

'Solo Ocean Crossings' presents a comprehensive exploration of the intricate world of single-handed sailing, weaving together the technical, psychological, and navigational aspects essential for successful oceanic journeys. From celestial navigation to modern electronic systems, the book meticulously details how solo sailors master the art of crossing vast waters alone, building upon centuries of maritime knowledge and contemporary research from leading maritime institutes.

 
The book's unique strength lies in its balanced approach to three critical components: advanced navigation techniques, vessel maintenance, and psychological preparation. Through detailed case studies and first-hand accounts from experienced solo sailors, readers gain invaluable insights into crucial aspects like weather routing, emergency protocols, and stress management during extended isolation.

 
Particularly fascinating is the book's examination of how successful ocean crossings depend equally on technical proficiency and mental fortitude, supported by extensive research and real-world examples. Progressing from practical navigation systems through vessel preparation to psychological readiness, the text serves both as an instructional guide and a deep dive into ocean navigation principles.

 
While primarily focusing on temperate zone navigation across the Atlantic and Pacific, the book provides specific protocols, checklists, and assessment tools that enable readers to develop structured approaches to their maritime endeavors. This methodical organization, combined with its integration of traditional seamanship and modern technology, makes it an invaluable resource for aspiring solo sailors and maritime professionals alike.

    The Last Sea Dog tells the story of Jean-Luc Van Den Heede's life and his many sailing adventures, focussing on his triumph in the 2018/19 Golden Globe Race. Jean-Luc has rounded Cape Horn 12 times and completed six solo circumnavigations. These have resulted in five race podiums and one world record, which he still currently holds. He has been on the podium twice in the Vendée Globe single-handed race around the world, coming third in 1990 and second in 1993. More recently he won the Golden Globe Race in 2018/19 at the age of 73. This race was run as a fiftieth anniversary of the 1968 race of the same name won by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. While the restriction of no assistance and no stopovers were not particularly unusual, more challenging were the requirements to sail the race 'as in 1968' with yachts similar to those available in that year and, except for safety equipment, no modern technology allowed. No satellite-based navigation aids were available to the sailors and they had to use a sextant to navigate around the world as Robin had done fifty years previously. Jean-Luc was born in Amiens, far from the sea, and he became a maths teacher. Nevertheless, he developed a passion for competitive sailing. He is friendly and easy to approach, but he is also a formidable competitor with an abundance of courage and perseverance. This personal account of his life and the Golden Globe Race is an amazing story of a man who has faced the toughest times and sea and won through
