Sven is a real inspiration, especially in his old age. His small boat was one of the first to get me interested in sailing. Would love to read the rest of the book.

P.S. I am delighted that the book is by a fellow Swede!

This is a terrific read, and I don’t mind the occasional misspelling by an author whose first language is not English. I join others and hope to get a copy of the book. I think it will be riveting reading! Thanks for the intro to it!

An amazing life so far. He is another reason I’m building my little boat. I really like some of the ways he explains why he did what he did.

Have been a big fan of Sven since the 70s. Would always love his articles in Cruising World that I’m so grateful were available to me to read instead of having to do my homework as a young chap. John Federico tenzan@bellsouth.net
