The long, strange legacy of Donald Crowhurst

Article Abstract:

Besides being the most famous and amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst was a keen student, the boisterous gang leader, the jaunty young officer, the rejected lover, the devoted husband and father, the tireless promoter, the Bridgewater town councilor and a brilliant entrepreneur. Between 1990 and 2001, the Crowhurst story inspired a novel, a one-man opera, an art installation, a multimedia performance piece, a radio documentary, a projected movie and a play for BBC Television. The book, 'The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crow Hurst' gives an extraordinary posthumous energy to his character.
