About

Captain Bernicot's single-handed voyage round the world is very little known. It was completed at the end of May 1938, but his account did not appear until 1942 and then only in a limited French edition.

Now Edward Allcard, the well-known smallboat sailor, has translated it into English, and it can take its place on the same shelf with Slocum, Pidgeon and Gerbault. It was Slocum's sailing alone around the world that inspired Bernicot to attempt a similar voyage and to have his cutter built on the same wide-beamed plan as the Spray. He left Carantec in North Brittany in August 1936, and sailed across the Atlantic towards Cape Horn, by way of Madeira and the Argentine coast.

Includes a few monochrome images.
