episode 014 - The Gales in the Gulf Stream cover

Description

In 1920, William Nutting, an adventurous editor of Motor Boat Magazine and seasoned sailor, teamed up with renowned naval architect William Atkin to create a remarkable vessel for an Atlantic crossing. While the official aim was to participate in yacht races off Cowes, England, Nutting and Atkin were driven by a bold ambition to demonstrate that crossing a vast ocean was possible in what was then deemed a small boat. The outcome was Typhoon, a 45-foot ketch that carried Nutting and his companions on a thrilling three-week journey across the North Atlantic, followed by exhilarating racing and cruising in Europe, before ultimately returning to New York via a southern route. This engaging book captures the essence of their adventure, filled with camaraderie and courage. Tragically, four years later, Nutting would meet a different fate at sea in another vessel.
