Good Jibes with Latitude 38

Richard King on the History of Sailing Alone


Listen Later

This week’s host, John Arndt, is joined by Richard King to chat stories on stories from singlehanders around the world. Richard is an Author and Illustrator of several books, most recently Sailing Alone: A Surprising History of Isolation and Survival at Sea. In 2007, he sailed alone across the Atlantic Ocean in a 28' sloop from Portland, Maine, to Lisbon, Portugal (he was aiming for Scotland). Hear why sailors decide to explore the world singlehanded, the most notable singlehanded sailors Richard has interviewed and studied, how to get comfortable singlehanding, what he’s learned working on tall ships, and what he did when his engine stopped working while crossing the Atlantic. Check out Richard’s books at RichardJKing.info/Works.htm
