Speed Kills - Who Killed The Cigarette Boat King, The Fastest Man On The Seas?

by Arthur Jay Harris

5,75€ + 10% CARD

 <blockquote>A feature film, SPEED KILLS, starring John Travolta, based on my book,  premieres in Fall 2018.Watch the trailer:<a href="https://www.screendaily.com/news/first-look-trailer-john-travolta-in-speedboat-drama-speed-kills-exclusive/5129868.article">https://www.screendaily.com/news/first-look-trailer-john-travolta-in-speedboat-drama-speed-kills-exclusive/5129868.article</a>The most famous speedboat racer, the creator of the famous Cigarette fast boats, the boat of choice for drug smugglers, is murdered in Miami in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses. The case takes police ten years to solve -- and leaves questions to whether they got it right.Speed Kills was originally published by Avon Books.Miami Herald:  Ocean racing superstar Don Aronow loved when writers called him a legend. His life of adventure is well known. It is his death that baffles police. In his final hour, when a stranger talked about killing, Aronow laughed. He felt no fear until he lowered the window of his Mercedes and looked death in the face. Then it was too late.BORDERING A CANAL LEADING TO BISCAYNE BAY, a short dead-end stretch of Northeast 188th Street in Miami was the crossroad of the Americas in the mid-1980s for the biggest drug smugglers into the U.S.; the guys who ripped off the drug smugglers; the biggest South American drug suppliers; competing federal agencies investigating major drug trafficking and money laundering; the CIA, covertly advancing the Contra war against Central American land reform (which they called Cuban-sponsored communism); some of the highest national politicians in the country—and what attracted them all there, the most famous fast-boat companies in the world.</blockquote>On that splashy boulevard of (wet) dreams factories built marine magazine-ad ultra-sleek gleaming speedboats ostensibly for racers, royalty to show off on the Côte d’Azur, and wealthy divorced or divorcing middle-age overweight men to pick up South Florida’s sun-soaked hot chicks in string bikinis (while the rest of us unwashed wondered how they did it), but the boat builders’ real business was fueling an arms race between smugglers, who purchased them for cash, and Drug War feds to catch smugglers.The storied creator of the quantum-leap faster Cigarette boat, against which all other “penis” boats were measured, as well as a two-time powerboat racing world champion and the personification of a sport in which people crazily risked their lives and bodies to win—not to mention a wicked ladies’ man to boot, Don Aronow was shot and killed in broad daylight in front of his factory in 1987. Police found they didn’t just have a murder mystery—they had Murder on the Orient Express.

Sailing In Circles, Goin' Somewhere - Not Your Typical Boat Story

by Finley Martin

13,57€ + 10% CARD

 Not all dreams have happy endings. Sailing in Circles, Goin' Somewhere is the funny, bittersweet memoir of a Prince Edward Island man who, over seven years, builds a classic 1930s wooden sailboat and, in 2004, attempts to circumnavigate eastern North America. The author leaves a small fishing port on the Island and tracks along the rugged coast, up the St. Lawrence River, and through the Great Lakes. Alone, he encounters heavy fog, near-collisions with freighters, mechanical breakdowns, enormous seas, several brushes with disaster, and even a hostile reception at one French-speaking port. He meets odd and curious people. It all comes to an inglorious and mundane end when the author and his boat, the Arja D., are stuck in, of all places, Peoria, Illinois. Was it worth it? Maybe. Written by Finley Martin, a respected Island fiction writer, this finely crafted and humorous book will appeal to adventurers, sailors, and lovers of a good yarn.

Never, Ever Give In!

by Tony Mowbray

~~9,59€~~ 8,63€ 10% OFF

 I would like to take you on a journey. It's going to be a journey across many oceans, over a lot of water but very much a journey of the human spirit. This is not a sailing story. It's much more than that.My seven crew and I participated in the fatal 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race in which 6 men tragically died, 55 were rescued and a number of boats sank. On our boat, for 15 hours, we thought that we had found out how we were going to die. By a slim margin, we managed to survive that incredible cornerstone event in each of our lives.1 year and 10 months later, my yacht   Solo Globe Challenger, had been rebuilt and in October 2000 I headed back to sea in an attempt to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world.Over the years, I've had more than my fair share of harrowing near death situations. I've leant a lot about myself and what makes me tick. I first thought of writing this book more than 25 years ago and now it is finally done! I've put my heart and soul into every page.I hope you enjoy it.Tony Mowbray.

Practical Skipper - Essential Notes And Checklists For Day And Coastal Skippers

by Bill Johnson

17,87€ + 10% CARD

 When you learn how to skipper a yacht the practical courses cover a whole range of activities, from passage planning to pilotage and berthing. The way you learn about these elements on a course is usually like this: - the briefing, where the instructor prepares you for the exercise. He should explain what we''re trying to achieve, how it''s going to work, and what the skipper and crew need to do - the practical activity - you all have a go - the debriefing afterwards, where you discuss what happened and how it went, and take notes of what to remember. At the end of the course, you will have had a go at all the important stuff you have to do in the course of sailing the yacht, but you''ll probably struggle to remember all the essential bits: the all-important briefing, and the sequence of things you have to remember. This book is the answer. Containing all the author''s own briefing notes and concise explanations, it covers every activity a skipper will need to carry out. Using bullet points, handy checklists and simple diagrams, this book is a unique resource for all skippers - reassurance for new skippers that they haven''t forgotten something vital, and a reminder for the more experienced. These are the notes you wish you''d written when you attended your sailing course, and had to hand when revising for your exam or refreshing your knowledge later.
