Nick Ward Bücher

„Allein mit dem Tod“ erzählt die wahre Geschichte von Nick Ward, der während des Fastnet Race von 1979 zusammen mit vielen anderen Mitstreitern in einen Jahrhundertsturm gerät, und der – totgeglaubt – von seinen Mitseglern an Bord der lackgeschlagenen Yacht zurückgelassen wird. Erst 30 Jahre nach der Tragödie um das Fastnet Race ist er in der Lage zu erzählen, wie es damals, in den Tagen des Sturms, wirklich war. Nachdem er kenterte, das Bewusstsein verlor und von seinen Mitseglern allein auf der Yacht zurückgelassen wurde, überlebte er das katastrophale Fastnet Race von 1979 nur knapp – und wurde als letzter Überlebender geborgen. Ergänzt wird der packende Bericht durch Fotos, handschriftliche Aufzeichnungen des Autors, Wetterkarten und -analysen sowie Auszüge aus dem offiziellen Bericht über die Fastnet Race-Katastrophe mit Angaben zu Todesfällen und Schiffsverlusten.

The second edition of the Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year is updated with a new chapter describing Nick's eventual completion of the Fastnet Race thirty years after his first, ill-fated attempt. The world-famous Fastnet Race takes yachts from the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland and back. The 1979 race began in perfect conditions, but was soon engulfed by the deadliest storm in the history of modern sailing. By the time it passed, the havoc caused was immeasurable, and fifteen sailors had lost their lives. It had been Nick Ward's childhood ambition to sail in the Fastnet Race, and being asked to join the crew of the 30-foot yacht Grimalkin was a dream come true. But then the storm hit. Grimalkin was capsized again and again. With the skipper lost overboard, after hours of struggle three of the crew decided to abandon the boat for the liferaft. Nick and another crewmember, both unconscious, were left on the beleaguered yacht in the middle of the Irish Sea. Both were presumed dead. Gerry died a few hours later, and Nick was left to face the storm alone.
