Gipsy Moth IV: A Legend Sails Again

By Paul Gelder
Published by Wiley Nautical, December 07

In this beautifully illustrated book, Yachting Monthly’s Paul Gelder tells the remarkable story of Gipsy Moth’s rise, fall and triumphant rise again. Gipsy Moth IV: A Legend Sails Again is the definitive history of this sailing icon, illustrated throughout with never before published photographs of the boat, the restoration project and dramatic images from both of her epic voyages...

The author has had unprecedented access to both the Chichester family archives and to the skippers’ and crews’ logs for the second circumnavigation; he even sailed aboard her on the first leg from Plymouth to Gibraltar.
