Suggestions for good sailing fiction
I've been reading a couple series about the end of the world and surviving by sailing. Now I'm down to my last book in the series. Does anyone have any suggestions for good sailing fiction?

Re: Suggestions for good sailing fiction
I apologize, I don't have a recommendation for you, but I wanted to ask, what's the name of that series? It sounds interesting.

I'm a big fan of Clive Cussler novels, especially the Pitt series. All are available on Kindle books or paper

Sailing fiction? Available free of charge here on CF, and at most yacht club bars!

Stu, for me, that was over 30 yrs. ago, but a good story, nonetheless.

Not fiction... but any of HW 'Bill' Tilman's books such as 'Ice with Everything'

Re: Suggestions for good sailing fiction

'The Riddle' by Maldwin Drummond

"The Pulse" series by Scott B Williams. So far there are five I believe. The other is "The Southwind Saga" by Jase Kovacs. There are two in that one. Both are a different twist on the same theme.

What happened to the corbetts by Nevil Shute also " Trustee from the Toolroom" by same author. Whole heap by Bernard Cornwell "Sealord" " wild track" and others. Great thing about sailing, you can do both at once.
