No one really knew Tristan Jones. He was larger than life, perhaps the most successful sailing writer of the 20th century, and by his own account the greatest sailor. But he was not who he said he was. He told us what he wanted us to believe, and he told the tales so well we either believed or suspended disbelief. As Anthony dalton reveals in the uncompromising yet admiring biography, the real Tristan Jones was both a lesser and a greater man than his invention. Self-educated, self taught, enormously creative, he was himself his most creative work.
