Publisher's Synopsis
The "America's Cup" has been the world's most prestigious race for ocean-going yachts since the first contest was held between America and Great Britain in 1851. This book tells the story of the Cup from the beginning and presents a unique collection of beautiful paintings depicting dramatic scenes from every match since 1851, including the action of our own Hauraki Gulf in 2003. Enlarged details of each painting reveal the artist's attention to detail, and there are also maps of the courses, and line illustrations of every competing yacht.
