Former soldier, turned record-setting sailor, Craig Wood, launches FINDING MY SEA LEGS, Part One: How I survived beyond the battlefield.
A year into joining the British Army, Craig lost both his legs and his left hand at the devastatingly young age of 18, after stepping on an IED in Afghanistan. After enduring a long and agonising rehabilitation he found purpose and freedom through sailing, and transformed trauma into triumph.
The first in a series of three books, this book details Craig Woods journey from survivor to sailor. It gives a rare insight into life for Craig on the battlefield, and beyond, sharing his painful rehabilitation journey of body and mind after becoming a triple amputee. It’s a dark and gritty story that navigates serious trauma and the drive and motivation required to pull himself out of the dark depths and propel himself forward to greater things. This is Craig’s true and unfiltered story up to the day he made his first ocean crossing, across the Atlantic.
Craig’s story is not just one of survival – it’s a testament to the power of mindset, adaptability, and the sheer will to thrive.
“I couldn’t have done it without the people who believed in me when things felt impossible” – Craig Wood
