    "An intriguing tale of personal victories claimed from disaster." - Publishers Weekly

    "Soulful, emotional ... earnest and engrossing." - KIRKUS

    "While the suspense, drama, and harrowing adventure of CAPSIZED will no doubt grip any reader, it shouldn’t be missed that Steve Callahan’s book also is about the complexity of the individual and the collective. Callahan shows us disparate people forced to rely upon each other for their mutual survival. In a manner of speaking, it is the id, ego, and super-ego simultaneously at odds and in concert. CAPSIZED may just tell one crew’s story, but it also is the story of the best of human nature eventually winning out in the worst of times." - Adam Braver, author of NOVEMBER 22, 1963 and MISFIT


    In a superb narrative, NY TIMES bestselling author Callahan chronicles the four-month (April - August 1989) struggle of Jim Nalepka and three other crew (Phil Hofman, John Glennie and Rick Hellriegel) to survive on their capsized trimaran adrift in the the stormy seas of the wintry South Pacific. For shelter, the four huddled together in a dank hull compartment 20 inches high and only as wide as a double-bed. Most of their gear was lost in the same gale that caused them to capsize. They were drenched nearly constantly with frigid seawater, and caught fish and collected rain for sustenance before the wind and current finally carried them to New Zealand's Great Barrier Island.

    CAPSIZED was originally published with a slightly different title by HarperCollins in 1992. The new edition has been revised (with additional text and illustrations) by Callahan.
