Try Buried ay Sea by Pual Garrison. He's published 4 suspense sailing novels I believe. Just finished the above and enjoyed it.

Supposedly a kid's book, but fine for adults who haven't grown up yet is We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea by Arthur Ransome, one of the Swallows and Amazons series he wrote. All are good.

Because I didn't see it listed in this thread, I thought I would add Kay Cottee's book 'First Lady' - It's an account of her record breaking non-stop circumnavigation voyage. It's probably the best sailing book I've read. I think you can only get it online from Australia, but it's worth the effort.
