Audio Book Description
In 1850 a brilliant young boat designer and an unlikely team of humble, hard working men faced the might and arrogance of the British empire in a yacht race for The Great Exhibition in England. Revolutionary in design and strikingly beautiful, the schooner America set sail against the world’s greatest maritime nation.
This is an account of the America’s Cup, but it is also the story of a victory and the American spirit that bravely lives on today.
