Synopsis

“With Tangra Against the Wind” by Captain Nikolay Djambazov is a unique story of the best Bulgarian singlehanded circumnavigator. Nikolay believed in his and his boat abilities to compete in the renowned OSTAR 80 and to sail around Cape Horn in a one stop circumnavigation with a boat made by him besides the constant attempts of the government to prevent him from fulfilling his childhood dream. Capsized twice, chased by pirates along the Moroccan coast, betrayed by trusted friends, imprisoned in Turkey and still, this salty sailor never gave up. This detailed account of extraordinary strength of willpower stands strong against high seas and makes a milestone in maritime history. Nikolay is an epitome of the romantic out at sea, overcoming life’s tolls to make his childhood dream come true.
