Award-winning yachting journalist Rebecca Hayter joined Ross Field, winner of the 1994 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, on a quest to sail the Northwest Passage.

Reviews
Ivor Wilkins – Breeze Magazine
“It is testament to Hayter’s writing skill that in Wild Seas to Greenland – a sailing adventure with ocean racer Ross Field she has nevertheless woven a spellbinding story of seafaring adventure with a “warhorse of the seas”.
The fact that there were no major disasters, that problems and challenges were overcome or avoided through good seamanship, careful weather-routing and sound decision-making is the story. There are lessons here that anybody contemplating offshore passage-making would do well to absorb, particularly in relation to weather strategies.”
