Books by Emma Richards

Raised in Scotland in a family of sailing enthusiasts, Emma Richards has spent her entire life on the water. At twelve she was competing in dinghy world championships, and by 23 she had become the youngest member aboard Tracy Edward's maxi-catamaran for the Jules Verne trophy. But is was her outstanding achievement in the 2002 Around Alone that caught the attention of the media and fired the imagination of the general public. As talented as she is courageous, Emma Richards has received widespread admiration in the sailing world and beyond, and in 2003 was awarded an MBE. She lives in Portsmouth.
