It's great to see this adventure book available again after such a long time being out of print. This is David Keiper's own story with photos and sketches; how he designed and built a unique hydrofoil yacht - probably the first - and sailed solo around the Pacific Ocean. It is a riveting adventure story that also includes many hard-earned design, manufacturing, safety, and financial tips. The book is distinguished by vivid, active prose that puts you THERE in the picture; experiencing the unfolding adventure as Dave experiences it, and solving unexpected, disconcerting, and possibly life-threatening problems with Dave as they happen. Will be enjoyed by anyone who likes adventure, and is must reading for anyone who wants to design and build a high performance hydrofoil sailing yacht... or to dream about it.
