Well if we want to enter the arena of fiction, I love Clive Cussler novels. Although actual sailing is only sometimes involved, all the books revolve around sea stories. Cussler has an uncanny ability to meld historical fact and fiction into a remarkable story. Funny, fun, always involves the sea as his hero (alter ego?), Dirk Pitt is the Special Projects Manager for NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency). It's pretty cool that Cussler uses book money to support the "real" NUMA which is a non profit organization specializing in finding and recovering historical sunken wrecks.
