Fatal Storm: The 54Th Sydney To Hobart Yacht Race by Rob Mundle

The Sydney to Hobart yacht race has become established as one of the world′s major sporting events. The race in 1998 became one of the world′s major sporting disasters with the tragic loss of six sailors, injuries to many others and damage to many boats. The search and rescue operation was more like the D Day landing exercise. Its story leaves Saving Private Ryan in the shade. Had it not been for the superior skills in organisation and operation many more would have been lost. ′As I was being lifted from the water I just remember looking up and seeing this brilliant white light above me. I genuinely didn′t know if I was alive or dead. That was the defining moment. I knew that if I were alive then I would never do another Sydney-Hobart. My wife, my children, family and friends meant too much to me - nothing else. ′ Steve Kulmar.
