5 out of 5 stars Very Griping - Couldn't put it down...   December 11, 1999
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I highly recomend this to any sailor who is a blue water crusier or is thinking about it. Great detail and lets one know what can really happen out there.


1 out of 5 stars I did not understand it!!   March 2, 1999
 6 out of 21 found this review helpful

I think the only person that should read this is a person that loves or knows a lot about sailing. Even though the decreption was good I got really comfusid in the good parts of the book. Anyone that doesnt like or has no clue about sailing should not read this book!!


5 out of 5 stars It was great!!   February 10, 1999
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I liked Rescue in the pacific becuase of the way Tony Farrington starts you with a great begning that really got me into the book. I think that the end was good but kind of sad. Even though it was sad it still was a great book.


5 out of 5 stars Great read for sailors and non-sailors alike   November 15, 1998
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

A must read for any one setting off on a round the world sailing trip. Contains very valuable lessons for all would be sailors, especially in the Pacific area. Well researched and great writing - was like being in the storm it self. Once you start you can not put it down.


3 out of 5 stars Very gripping, somewhat hard to follow at times.   July 23, 1998
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

Great subject, good book, gripping at times with alot of action. However, I recommend reading the book over a short period of time. The auther did a nice job following the dozen or so boats involved in the storm "but" It was not easy to return to the book and recall your place following a short absence from reading it. I am a novice boater and was confused at some of the sailing terminology.
