The Mooneshine Logs

Francis Stokes

The Mooneshine Logs is a wonderfully moving and insightful account covering the author's modest beginnings in ocean racing to his later triumphs in his beloved Mooneshine . He tells of his first transatlantic crossing in 1970 when he sailed Crazy Jane from Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, to Plymouth, England. During the ensuing 15 years, Francis Stokes participated as a singlehander in many of the major ocean races of the time, from OSTAR 1976 to several Bermuda One-Two races, to his first BOC Challenge singlehanded round-the-world race in 1982, where he performed the daring rescue of Tony Lush in the Southern Indian Ocean.

This book is not only a high-quality narrative of these early races, it also provides a rare insight into a remarkable sailor and events of an important time in offshore-racing history.
