Three children, a catamaran they built themselves, and the whole New South Wales coast between them and safety.

Why it makes a good gift

Signed by the author. The first 200 books sold are signed.
Three books for the summer holidays. The $70 set is a holiday’s reading, and Christmas falls at the start of the Australian summer holidays.
A real coast. The voyage follows the real New South Wales coast — places like Barrenjoey Head that a family can go and see.
Written and illustrated by a real sailor and boat builder. Tom Simmat rebuilt Didgeridoo, a 1948 Knud Reimers double-ender, and raced her to Hobart in 1970 and 1971. About the author.
An adventure for readers 10 and up. An adventure sailing story about children maintaining their values against all odds. They are chased at sea, captured and escape; boats are damaged and sunk; but they survive to forgive.
