Abstract

The following notes, from one of the contestants in the single-handed transatlantic race 1960, will be of great interest to a number of people concerned with wind and weather observations and the performance of small boats in heavy weather. Dr. Lewis's track in 1960 was by the great circle from Plymouth to New York, from New York up to St. John's, Newfoundland, and then back across the Atlantic to Lerwick in the Shetlands.
