Una regata de locos

The story of the Golden Globe Race is incredible, but I'm curious what drew Nichols to tell this specific chapter of maritime history. Was there a personal connection or a sense of adventure that resonated with him?

The detailed account of their perseverance made me root for them, but also made me wonder about the toll this kind of extreme adventure takes. How do they mentally prepare for such risks?

The book covers multiple contestants, but I wonder what influenced his choices in focusing on certain individuals' journeys over others. Was it their personalities, their stories, or something else?
