Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
"For those who like yacht racing nothing in modern sporting competitions equals the excitement of a challenge for the America's Cup. A twelve-metre match race is an extremely complex combination of skill, teamwork, and the use of the highest and most expensive technology available...and split-second tactical decision-making. "In this book.. a seasoned sailor and reporter lays out the whole story of the post-war challenges, and an artist of rare knowledge brings the whole scene vividly to life. "Why in well over a hundred years has no challenge ever been successful? The answer is given here...... Illustrated with thirty-six full-colour paintings, diagrams, and line drawings.
