The America's Cup

Penny Whiting, a well-known sailor, sailing teacher, sailing competitor and sailing commentator, has written this book for those people who don't have a sailing background. In easy-to-understand language she explains the machinations of the Cup campaign, from what the Louis Vuitton Cup Challenger's Series is and how it is run, to what stern, port and starboard mean. There are over 20 line drawings that explain sail names, parts of the yachts, where crew members are situated on the boats and what some of the terminology commentators use during races actually means. This book has been officially licensed as an America's Cup Authentic Cup Product and its contents have been checked and authorised by Team New Zealand. Includes extensive glossary of sailing terms
