by Jimmy Cornell
Mein Leben unter Segel is the German translation of Sail the World with Me and is based on Jimmy's extensive knowledge that he has gained over five decades on the world's oceans. The book covers all the essential aspects of ocean sailing in an informative and entertaining manner, underpinned by insightful incidents from the author's wide range of experience.
Jimmy Cornell has influenced today's sailing scene more than anyone else. An experienced sailor, speaker and author, he has sailed more than 200,000 nautical miles on all the world's oceans, from Antarctica to the Arctic, including three circumnavigations. Jimmy has written some of the world's best-selling nautical books, which have been translated into several languages.
Unlike Jimmy's previous books, in which he was careful to remain impartial as a professional journalist, this book contains memoirs in which the author does not shy away from expressing his personal opinions. He also speaks openly about the events that shaped his character and his passion for the sea. The book contains many anecdotes from an eventful life on water and on land.
The work is aimed primarily at sailors who are planning or preparing for a longer trip, but is also suitable for experienced ocean sailors and weekend sailors.
Mein Leben unter Segel is based on Jimmy Cornell's previous books 200,000 Miles A Life of Adventure (2017) and A Passion for the Sea, which was published in five languages in 2007 and is now out of print.
