From Library Journal

Jobson has sailed in just about everything that floats. Luray is a veteran sailing writer and editor of Sail magazine. Together they have written a fascinating book about the sport of sailing, the boats themselves, and the people who are hooked on the sport. Most of the text concentrates on racing and the great events like America's Cup, Cowes Regatta, the China Sea Race, etc., as well as the diverse group of people who make competitive sailing sowellcompetitive. Jobson has sailed with and against such luminaries as Ted Turner, Dennis Conner, and Buddy Melges. His experiences in sailing with these competitors tell a great deal about them, as well as charting the changes the sport has undergone. Recommended. Susan Ebershoff-Coles, Indianapolis-Marion Cty.
