	Bernard Moitessier Bio - NEWSLETTER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		An internationally renowned sailor, writer, and ecologist, Bernard Moitessier was one of the true legends of the twentieth century.
		He first became famous for his daring sailing exploits, which he documented in Sailing to the Reefs, Cape Horn: The Logical Route (to be reprinted in the spring of 2003 by Sheridan House), The Long Way, and Tamata and the Alliance.
		Moitessier, well in the lead and with only a short distance to the finish line, had victory in hand, but at the last minute he suddenly turned away and disappeared over the horizon.

	Bernard Moitessier
		Waiting for Moitessier would be the cash prize of $25,000, the trophy, and the inevitable storm of noto- riety, adulation, and perhaps a million dollars in books, endorse- ments, public appearances, emoluments of all kinds to say nothing of the nationalistic pride of beating the English at their own game, and winning the Legion d'honneur.
		Moitessier changed course, headed eastward along the Roaring Forties (after having already crossed his outbound track) on a second nonstop circumnavigation, automatically dropping out of the Times race.
		Bernard met the legendary William Robinson and was invited aboard Varua, where Robbie gave a graphic account of his fight with the survival storm near Cape Horn.

	Countrybookshop.co.uk - Sailing to the Reefs
		Bernard Moitessier is considered one of the greatest blue water sailors of the 20th century.
		Bernard Moitessier became a legend not only among sailors for his incredible sailing feats, but also among ecologists and others for his commitment to transforming and improving the world.
		This book is Moitessier's first, and it tells the story very charmingly of his shipwreck in the Indian Ocean after a monumental monsoon and how he built himself a new boat from scratch with no boat plans, power tools or financial resources in just 9 months.

	The Circumnavigators - by Don Holm - Chapter 25
		In his log, and in a long letter composed for his publisher, which he hoped to give to a passing ship, Moitessier's reasons were al- though he professed to be of sound mind weird in the extreme, incomprehensible at best.
		Bernard Moitessier of France, among long-distance sailors, was already d legendary figure.
		In spite of Moitessier's bold experiment, the Dumas school of thought on running before the seas of the Southern Ocean is considered fool- hardy by many deepwater sailors, including Robinson, Hiscock, and the Smeetons.

	The Long Way
		Moitessier entered the Round The World Race presumably to win, but he spends far more time communing with the seabirds and listening to the wave patterns on his boat, JOSHUA's hull than in dedicated yacht racing.
		If indeed Moitessier went mad (as some say he did) his madness was a doorway to spiritual peace, and not, like Crowhurst's, to sorrow and death.
		Moitessier takes us THE LONG WAY toward beauty, value, and the validation of ourselves in what is, after all, a vast and playful universe.

	MBQ - Summer 1996 Editorial
		Moitessier, having spent some 250 days alone at sea was evidently disgusted by the thought of being fawned upon by acres of British media people.
		Moitessier was another exception, though in the opposite direction.
		Moitessier claimed "A good slingshot is better than all the transmitters in the world." Moitessier even left his engine behind in order to make room for more food!

		The story of yachtsman Bernard Moitessier, who inexplicably pulled out of the "Golden Globe" race, having battled storms, gear failure, knockdowns and overwhelming fatigue and loneliness.
		Moitessier's account of his voyage and how he abandoned the race made the story rather as though it should have been called "Zen and the Art of lone sailing"!
		He was a mystic and his roots in Vietnam and France all helped him to have a very metaphysical outlook on the art of sailing alone around the world battling the elements of nature and with himself.

	Newsletter: Sheridan House
		"With this act, Moitessier became a guru of sorts, a zen symbol of a yearning to reject the technocratic monsters of modern society and embrace the beauty and simplicity of the ancient seas.
		It is what I knew about Moitessier when I thought I saw him and his boat in Tahiti almost 20 years after his trip, and why I carried this memory with me for 20 more years, around the world and back home again, past his death, and into my own future.
		Bernard Moitessier, whom I have unfortunately never met, has fascinated me for the last twenty years, both as a writer and as a sailor.

		From the Indian Ocean to the Carribean, our friend has a few unscheduled meetings with rocks and reefs, builds himself a new boat, and between his long-distance passages spends rather a long time in each of his few ports of call.
		I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the tropical locations that Moitessier visited in this book, where he gives the reader a colourful overview of the customs, the locals and the habitat.
		The author also gives the reader a comprehensive view of singlehanded sailing, adding plenty of detail about the sailing techniques he likes to use and writes about his ideas for improving life aboard.

		Bernard Moitessier, sailing the steel ketch Joshua, was nearly the winner of the race - an honor awarded to Robin Knox-Johnston - except for the fact that, after having passed the three great capes in his eastward voyage around the world, he decided against turning north towards the finish line in England.
		Moitessier's memoir, Tamamta and the Alliance (1995 Sheridan House), details his sailing adventures and experiences in Asia.
		It should not be a surprise to any cruiser to hear that French Polynesia is one of the most expensive places in the Pacific to buy anything, and that most of the businesses operate on 'island time'.
