My Lively Lady
By Sir Alec Rose
Published by Nautical Publishing Company & George G. Harrap: London 1968

" My Lively Lady, written by Sir Alec Rose and published in London in 1968 by Nautical Publishing Company in association with George G. Harrap, is the remarkable autobiographical account of one of the great solo sailing achievements of the twentieth century. In this engaging narrative, Rose recounts the story of his famous single-handed circumnavigation of the globe aboard his modest yacht Lively Lady, a voyage that captured the imagination of the public and established him as one of Britain's most admired yachtsmen. Beginning with his early life and unlikely path to the sea, Rose explains how determination, ingenuity, and perseverance eventually led him to undertake the daunting challenge of sailing alone around the world.

The book describes in vivid detail the hardships and triumphs of the voyage, including the severe gales of the Southern Ocean, the constant strain of single-handed navigation, and the many technical challenges faced by a lone sailor managing every aspect of the vessel. Rose recounts the dramatic moments when his yacht was battered by storms, damaged by heavy seas, and nearly dismasted, as well as the long stretches of solitude that defined life at sea. His journey included stops in Australia and New Zealand before he continued toward the fearsome passage around Cape Horn and the long return to England.

Written in a direct and reflective style, My Lively Lady conveys both the adventure of ocean voyaging and the personal determination behind one of the era's most celebrated sailing feats. Rose's successful return to Britain in 1968 was greeted with widespread acclaim, culminating in his knighthood shortly afterwards. This inspiring account of courage and endurance will particularly appeal to sailing enthusiasts, maritime historians, and readers interested in classic solo voyages and the golden age of modern ocean yachting."
