Oblong quarto hardcover, 159pp., colour illustrations. Minor wear; slightly worn and chipped dustwrapper edges. Otherwise very good to near fine and professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. One of the greatest sporting challenges in the world, the America's Cup has a long and glamorous past, peopled with larger-than-life characters: Commodore Stevens, James Ashbury, Nat Herreshoff, Sir Thomas Lipton, Edward VII, Tommy Sopwith and Harold Vanderbilt, to name but a few. Its true fascination, however, is that from its inception until 1983 it remained in the hands of one nation, the USA. As the years passed and the Americans, against ever-stronger challengers, managed to sustain their invincibility, the contest increasingly came to resemble a quest for Yachting's Holy Grail. This book recalls the long struggles to mount those early challenges and how the competition developed in succeeding decades. In yachting's 'golden age' grandeur, size and elegance were the keynotes, and before sophisticated modern technology came into play the huge spars and acres of canvas were manhandled by crews of thirty or more professionals. For the author these old racing yachts are an art form, each model a designer's solution the problems of two powerful and unpredictable elements, water and wind.
