Have you ever wondered:
- What are the personal stories behind famous achievements and tragedies at sea?
- Why are certain people attracted to extreme sailing challenges and how do they cope?
- Why are some crew compatible while others fall apart at the first sign of difficulty?
- What makes a good skipper?
- Why do some people instinctively make the wrong response to danger?

Peter Noble, a psychiatrist and experienced yachtsman, and Ros Hogbin, a circumnavigator and writer, analyse the psychological aspects of sailing and life at sea.
They consider a variety of mysteries, adventures and misadventures at sea, and interview sailing personalities to explain the effects of stress and isolation, crew tensions, good and bad leadership and a host of other topics of fascination to everyone interested in the sea.
