About

When Adrian Hayter set out single-handed from Lymington, England on his thirty-two-foot Albert Strange-designed yawl Sheila II, local betting was seven to one that he would get no further than the English Channel.

His destination was New Zealand, and the odds were definitely against him. As a sailor, Adrian recounts his foray into celestial navigation, a back-street appendix operation in India, armed escort by Indonesian authorities at sea, and eating barnacles off the hull to avoid starvation. Sheila in the Wind is more than a report of a 13,000-mile adventure; it’s a story of the human spirit.
