Rescue in the Pacific
by Tony Farrington

A True Story of Disaster and Survival in a Force 12 Storm

In June of 1994 a dangerous "bomb" storm caught dozens of cruising sailors by surprise as they voyaged north from New Zealand. This is the true story of how nine yachts struggled to survive the hurricane-like conditions. Battered by fierce winds and seas towering more than fifty feet high, their equipment was ripped loose, and water penetrated every weak point. Masts collapsed, rudders broke, and sailors lost steering control when they needed it most. Rescue in the Pacific is the story of this powerful storm and the heroic rescue operation to save the men and women aboard the yachts.

"... a dramatic story of life, death, and the epic struggle of man against the forces of nature... gripping... compelling... a story as spellbinding and harrowing as any novel."
--Multihulls

"... an extraordinary narrative."
