Below the Cape of Good Hope and south of Australia lie the feared latitudes of the Roaring Forties, where nonstop westerly gales push huge seas, unimpeded, around and around the bottom of the world. It was into this watery hell that, in 1942, Vito Dumas set sail in a 31-foot ketch.This title tells the tale of Vito Dumas' journey round the Roaring Forties. His 20,000-mile voyage through the vast Southern Ocean set many records, including first solo sailor to round Cape Horn and first to sail around the world with only three landfalls.
