Fatal Storm, The Inside Story of the
Tragic Sydney-Hobart Race
The sailors aboard more than 100
boats in the Tasman Sea during the Sydney-Hobart Race in 1998 were
prepared for ordinary gales, but what Nature dealt out was anything
but ordinary.
Fatal Storm is a tale of raw adventure, of a fear of the sea that
is also a fascination, and the bereaved. It is a story of recklessness
and heroism, the awesome power of nature, and above all a story
of the sea in the great tradition of sea tales.
Skillfully interwoven by Mundle, the firsthand accounts of the
storm are vivid and unforgettable - the scream of the wind, the
roar of the waves, and the last sight of a lost crewmember floating
face down while his boat is swept helplessly away. PB, published
1999.
