Experienced Sea Captain Shares His Miraculous Oceanic Adventures and Insight Into Sailing and Yachting

Captain Nikolay Djambazov describes his wealth of experience and the dynamic nature of the sea in his memoir: ‘With Tangra Against the Wind’

/EIN News/ -- SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The sea presents many adventures and challenges for those who travel it. In his riveting memoir, “With Tangra Against the Wind,” Captain Nikolay Djambazov details his lifestyle as a sailor and yachtsman, where he did all of his voyages only with a compass and a sextant. Captain Djambazov shares many sea excursions including his sailing expeditions on a yacht that he built himself, named Tangra.  

Captain Djambazov had many great accomplishments at sea with Tangra. In 1980, he participated in OSTAR 80. Then, in 1983-1985, he sailed Tangra around the Earth via Cape Horn without government or private funding. Captain Djambazov faced many challenges in his travels including capsizing, being chased by pirates along the Moroccan coast and being imprisoned in Turkey. Also, his voyages were an example of the ultimate self-imposed social isolation made even worse by the communist government forbidding radio amateurs to contact him.  

“I want the audience of the book to be empowered by the strength of the human will of an ordinary man like me who followed his childhood dreams and overcame all obstacles,” Captain Djambazov said.

In addition to chronicling stories from his time at sea, Captain Djambazov shares stories of important individuals that he met throughout his travels– proving that sailing/yachting, as much as it may seem like a solo experience, involves grand human connections. Although not all the connections he made had pure intentions in their friendship, he had wonderful people on his side.

In “With Tangra Against the Wind,” Captain Djambazov proves that life at sea is multifaceted, filled with hard work, adventure, friendships, challenges and beautiful destinations. By sharing his story, Captain Djambazov hopes to inspire readers to follow their own childhood dreams.
