Sobre este artículo

UK,8vo,HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,but price-clipped to dw/dj.Colour photographic wrap-around illustrated dw/dj; with minimal shelf-wear and creasing to top edge only and lightly bumped head of spine/backstrip - bottom edge virtually untouched.Top+fore-edges near pristine,contents the same.Blue rexine-type boards with stamped,crisp, bright gilt letters to spine/backstrip and blue+white line illustrated endpapers.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,8-256pp,includes colour yacht photographic frntis,title page,contents list;an introduction,profuse b/w diagrams and photographs with some colour photographs scattered throughout and an index. In recent years the sea has become a foremost arena for human endeavour.Feats of all types under sail and power are undertaken by crews and individuals.Records are frequently reported - but are they really the first single-handed voyage over a certain ocean,the fastest passage on a famous race,the largest number of sailing boats ever to compete,the most stormy conditions survived by a small boat? The Guinness Book of Yachting Facts and Feats sets out the answers to such questions in a readable,expanded and illustrated form.For instance,it brings together for the first time the facts and figures of racing under sail,of the yachting Olympics and cruising and voyaging feats. One section deals with the America's Cup - 'an historic exercise in exaggeration' in a way that has never been done before.This strange and unparalleled sporting trophy turns out to have spawned the finest sportsmanship as well as the most bitter acrimony - and often extreme and always the most costly sailing boats.A special section covers speed under sail and power.The subject of speed under sail,hitherto much talked about but vaguely documented,is analysed and clarified in a way that is not to be found elsewhere.
