Acerca de esta escucha

In 1968, nine competitors set out in a race that had never before been attempted: to sail around the world, alone, without stopping.

The route took them through the most dangerous waters on Earth. Seeking help was forbidden, and psychologists speculated that the 10 months alone at sea could drive the sailors mad. The winner was promised money and attention, but everyone knew that the real prize was to become a legend. What no one predicted was how.

Three of the racers did indeed become legendary: the one who won, the one who didn’t bother to win, and the one who cheated.

In this Audible Original, Stewart Brand (the Whole Earth Catalog, How Buildings Learn, The Clock of the Long Now) tells these men’s story, and lays out a new understanding of how and why each of them met their fate. His claim is that the core of the race came down to how each sailor approached the question of maintenance. And he explains how shifting our own understanding of maintenance may help us address the problems we face, from daily chores to issues that threaten our very existence.

About the Performer

Richard has been a director and teacher for over 35 years. As his professional directing career grew, he found that more and more professional actors sought his work for individual coaching. From this demand, he opened Seydways Acting Studios in 1991 as a training ground for professional actors in the Bay Area. Over the years as a successful director and teacher, Richard developed a uniquely sensitive, specific, and effective approach to actor training. This approach is summarized in his now patented Trigger Approach and Stretch Work. In 2003, Richard opened his Los Angeles studio, where he continues to teach classes for professional actors in both Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this. It is a fascinating story about a race around the world and how preparing for it and having a maintenance plan influenced it. If the rest of the stories in the future book are like this, I would want to read it.

I relate unfortunately more to the guy lost at see as an eternal optomist and despising tedious maintenance but this was such s simple and great example that I could listen and absorb in one sitting and Is love to read the complete book with more examples if and when it is completed. Bravo, fast hard clap!

I liked all the descriptions of the problems the navigators faced and the teachings it provided.

Sufficiently short and effective narration of a historic race that left us with amazing teachings.

Another excellent production by executive producer & editor Rachel Hamburg. I always look forward to and enjoy her audible originals, and this was no exception. As insightful as it was gripping, “The Maintenance Race” has given me an opportunity to think about the role of “maintenance” in my own life. Would definitely recommend to all.

Well worth a listen!

Great Info

This was an entertaining and informative selection about a naval race, focusing in particular on several racers and their approach to the race. I found that most interesting. One was too optimistic without being realistic, one cheated and one was extremely prepared. Their stories are the heart of this story. Beautifully narrated, this is a short treat.

Skills For Life

The thought of sailing on the ocean terrifies me. Listening to how sailors do it for months at a time fascinates me. Well narrated "a Reader's Digest" version of an epic race.
