  The America's Cup: Trials & Triumphs
America's Cup: Trials & Triumphs 
A concise history of some of the most interesting of the international struggles for possession of the acclaimed Cup. Simpson writes about the ingenuity and technical advancements made over the years in hull and sail design for swift oceangoing sailing yachts. He also illustrates some of the interesting events that have changed commercial sailing into the popular sport of sailboat racing--a sport that was once the pleasure of only the wealthy barons of industry. Includes a section on sailing techniques, manoeuvers and useful nautical terminology.
