Enthralling! I couldn't put it down.

This book held my interest from beginning to end. I am not an expert sailor, but Guernsey and Zoerner made all the technical terminology very clear. My friend, who is an expert sailor, enjoyed both the adventure and the technical accuracy of the book. I can warmly recommend this book to sailors and non-sailors alike--it's exciting!

If you love cruising, you've got to read this book!

Frank Guernsey and Cy Zoerner's book is not only an exciting account of a nearly impossible voyage, but a love story and a psychological portrait as well. Have you ever wondered what drives a person to strike out alone in a tiny boat on a voyage some might call suicidal? "Racing The Ice To Cape Horn" gives a rare glimpse into the psyche of one of those rare adventurers who choose to go it alone against nature. I absolutely couldn't put it down!

A great sailing adventure and well told. I was interested in the design of the 24 ft sailboat, the cabin layout, and the supplies taken on the voyage, as well as a few photographs. All of this information was missing! It still was a great book. Arthur B. Campbell
