Classic Boat Magazine Classic Boat May 2013 Edição anterior

Summer – or at least spring – should have arrived by now, but at least our May issue is out, with the story of the 1925 ketch Hurrica V, soon to be a global superstar with the summer release of the new Great Gatsby movie. We also have the story (and never-before-seen-photos) of how the photo archive of Robin Knox-Johnston's 1960s voyage around the world was recently found. And, as if our weather weren't bad enough, we're on board a tiny James Caird replica in the Southern Ocean, with the crew of six who repeated Shackleton's impossible voyage of 1916.
