Top Yacht Races of the World (Top S.)

Divided into sections on Offshore, Ocean, Round-the-World and Inshore Races, this superbly illustrated book captures the drama and appeal of the world's top yacht races, including such classics as the Sydney to Hobart Fastnet, and the Cape to Rio. Includes maps showing the routes and details of the winners.

Husband and wife team Sue and Anthony Steward are eminently qualified to write about the world's most prestigious yachting events. Sue has sailed over 10,000 nautical miles while Anthony achieved worldwide fame in 1990 when, at the age of 27, he became the first person to circumnavigate the world in an open craft, the 5.8m (19ft) NCS Challenger. Steward has crewed in the Vasco da Gama race and competed in Australia's Maxi series. In all, he has crossed the Atlantic and Indian oceans seven times each, and the Pacific twice. The Stewards live in Cape Town, South Africa. Foreword by the celebrated and innovative sailor Pete Goss.
