Descripción

Exhaustively researched from archives in both countries, A race for Real Sailors brings the ships and the men who sailed them to life with
an even-handedness never before attempted. The salt spray practically blows off the page as the author’s arresting style captures the excitement, incidents, and human drama of each race and the almost living personalities of the Schooners that contested them: the Delawana and the Esperanto, the Columbia and the Gertudre L. Thebaud. Illustrated with 51 contemporany photographs and five maps rounded out by glossary of sailing terms and an appendix of the ever-changing race rules.
