I was also thinking that aspiring singlehanders should read the books by noted singlehanders like Bernard Montessier, Dame Ellen McArthur, Slocum, Sir Robert Knox-Johnson. There are a slew of wonderful books written about the Vendee Globe that inspire. Don't get discouraged by others on this site. Don't get me wrong, it's a great site and I read it everyday. But remember, there are many on this site who treat their boats as waterbound RV's.
To put things in perspective. Dame McArthur sailed her Open 60 around the world while men writing in this forum question the wisdom taking a 27 foot O'Day out of a slip alone. Kind of makes you chuckle when you think about it!
