The Story of the America's Cup 1851- 2013 Hardcover – Illustrated, 16 Sept. 2015
- An awe-inspiring and breathtaking volume taking sailing beyond its competitive limits
- Highlights include some of the world's most technical yachts and the skills of the men who sailed them
Full page colour illustrations bring the yachts alive, set as they are in their natural element, at sea, on the waves; detailed descriptions give an amazing insider's view of the construction of individual boats, the routes sailed, the crews, the highs and lows of what was undoubtedly, extremely tough and competitive sailing, the victories and the defeats.
Paintings by Tim Thompson, a leading marine artist are an integral part of the book's appeal; he has captured the pure essence, the spirit of the race and its place in history.
