Australia II: The Official Record by Bruce Stannard and Andy Park

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to dust jacket and book edges. Light foxing at top foredge and top of one page.

This is the story of the boat and the team that brought the America's Cup to Australia.

It is a record of the syndicate's fourth and successful challenge for the Auld Mug. It is a record of the 25th Challenge with all its unforgettable excitement in a comprehensive but highly readable text by yachting commentator Bruce Stannard and an outstanding collection of photographs by the crew and professional photographers.

The combination of Stanard's anecdotes and the crew's behind the scenes photographs give the reader an intimate look into the lives of the scores of people who dedicated themselves to stopping the longest winning streak in sporting history. (book flap)
