Description
For those who like yachting, nothing in modern sport equals the excitement of a challenge for the America’s Cup. A twelve meter match race is an extremely complex combination of skill and teamwork, combining the use of the most sophisticated and expensive technology available to a country, an understanding of wind, water, and sail, and split second tactical decision making. Even if one is on the scene, a view from half a mile away tells one little of what is actually happening. In this book, however, a seasoned sailor and reporter lays out the whole story of the events and meanings of the modern challenges, and an artist of rare knowledge brings the scene colorfully to life.
