Best selling author, Rob Mundle, has been busy throughout the race, putting action into words, and the net result is the must-read ‘Life at the Extreme’.

Imagine a sporting contest where the participants are under a level of mental and physical endurance akin to a soldier on the front line of a war zone. Imagine also an eight-month odyssey where the fastest single hulled yachts in the world race at speeds never seen before in the most menacing of oceans. A contest which drew headlines not only for unprecedented ocean sailing records, but also for the sinking of one of the boats, and the death of an accomplished crew member. This is Life At The Extreme, the official book of the Volvo Ocean Race 2005-06, released now by Nomad Publications.

Life At The Extreme chronicles the daring feats of competitors in the world’s premier ocean race. A 31,350 nautical-mile endurance test around the globe under sail. A challenge which pushes competitors to the brink, to that precarious point where one error or unseen hazard could deliver drastic consequences. This was not a threat Volvo Ocean Race sailors faced just once: it was ever-present over months of competition, in the most hostile conditions nature can muster.

Noted sailing author Rob Mundle, and the world’s best-known sailing photographers, have, between them, created a compelling onboard view of the event, where the world’s top offshore sailors and the sport’s rising stars teamed up for a wild ride through the ocean’s roughest waters and the most dangerous weather nature has to offer.

Over 150 pages of pictures and words in full colour, Life At The Extreme is available to buy online through our official Volvo Ocean Race shop or from leading online and high street book stores for $44.95 ref ISBN: 0977129489.
