About This Item
Vercelli, Italy: White Star, 2007. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 10.25" x 14. h/b 344 pages, condition is As New. The slap of waves against the hull, the song of the wind in the sail, the sun beating on the deck as the boat cuts through the water .. boarding a yacht means yielding to the fascination of the sea, to natural instincts that rise to the surface and to the excitement of challenges. But the pleasure and reward of sailing comes only after a long process in which ideas and handcrafts contribute to the completion project. This book turns an eye to fully illustrated accounts of the world's most important races, updated to the 2007 America's Cup, and describes the boats that have transformed the history of sailing and sustained its great competitions. It includes detailed information on who designs yachts; the criteria for their construction; and how they are built, crewed, and raced. Readers enter this world thanks to extraordinary photographs and historical documents garnered from the world of sailboat racing. This is a very heavy item and extra postage may be required.
