Suggestions for good sailing fiction

[neverstop]

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?

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

Anything by Tristan Jones. 😆

Or Patrick O'Brian...but his are actually presented as works of fiction.

The Hornblower series.

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

Good one. Brought a smile to my face and I really needed it today.

Have you read "The Riddle of the Sands" ?

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'

Better still read the story about the bloke who wrote 'The Riddle of the Sands'...

'The Riddle' by Maldwin Drummond

Or watch the video ...if only to see Jenny Agutter .....

"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.
