He caused a sensation with his first single-handed circumnavigation of the world in 1966-68: Wilfried Erdmann, Germany's most famous sailor. He has now been sailing dinghies and yachts for almost 50 years. He has enjoyed and endured being alone, enjoyed family sailing and invited guest sailors on board. He has sailed well over two hundred thousand nautical miles, sometimes out of a thirst for adventure, sometimes out of protest, but always out of vocation. On April 26, 2020, Wilfried Erdmann will be 80 years old and he keeps on sailing! The cruising sailor, who has written numerous non-fiction books and adventure reports, is celebrating this with a very special book - a small but fine illustrated book filled to the brim with photos from his two major voyages, some of which have never been published before. In addition, the most beautiful passages from his two most important books. Sentences that pack a punch, carry a love of the sea and resonate for a long time. A completely new text on Erdmann's sailing philosophy provides your introduction to everything: the sailor turns 80 - and presents his fans with an extraordinary work. 240 pages, 130 photos, format 18x24cm, author: Wilfried Erdmann
