Overview

With great good humor and a Wagnerian sense of the majesty in an ocean crossing, Juan Corradi makes his sailboat the star of the narrative, and inspires anyone to take to sea in a small sailing vessel, and see the World from the deck of a sailboat. He gives details of her design and build, her string of lucky owners, and the great adventures at sea over 25 years.

You should read this beautiful story. You should read it, and rejoice with Pirate, Juan and Christina. And you will laugh until you cry, feel the fearful emotion of facing waves as high as a two-story building, or smile tenderly when you finally realize how deeply can a man and a woman love a sailboat. --Matteo Salamon, Founder and Administrator of Classic Swan Yacht Association
