Once is Enough

Smeeton, Miles: 1960 Ruper Hart-Davis, hardcover 208 pages, with photo's and plan of the ship. Once Is Enough is Miles Smeeton’s gripping true account of how he and his wife Beryl twice attempted to round Cape Horn in their 46‑foot ketch Tzu Hang in the 1950s, suffering two catastrophic knockdowns, including a pitchpole, and surviving against formidable odds. Blending understated humor with hard‑won seamanship insights, the book has become a classic of sea literature for its vivid depiction of the Southern Ocean and its practical lessons on the limits of safety at sea.
