Hi,
You can download Joshua Slocum's book for free (along with hundreds of
thousands of other books) from project geutenberg website. they have
it in txt format, and html. It was a good read. they have quite a
few other sailing related books for free in text format too, but dont
have a ready list just now. Ive read most of them.

Best Regards,
Shaun

If you are into sailing like me then you will enjoy this book I just
read. I meet Hubert Marcoux at a conference and couldn't put his book
down. I may not be able to sail around the world. But Hubert made me
part of his series of unthinkable events that transformed his five-
year journey into an 18-year odyssey. If you like sailing you will
enjoy this book!

the world" book
was written by Captain Joshua Slocum in 1900

Never read it, but all accounts call it a classic. (more than 1 book?) I
wonder if any book ever spawned so many replicas like Spray which was
probably only ever a compromise at the time and better boats must have
been built in the last 100 years.
