BBC News Channel presenter Chris Eakin is the
author of A Race Too Far – the critically acclaimed new book of the Golden
Globe race and ‘what happened next’. Chris’s research and interviews have given
him a unique insight into this race to be the first to sail non-stop round the
world single-handed; the epic which turned both Robin Knox-Johnston and Donald
Crowhurst into household names. Chris, a keen yachtsman, will talk about the
race and his heart-wrenching encounters 40 years on with those whose lives were
turned upside down by the fall out.
