Photographer Edwin Levick, who was considered the official photographer of the New York Yacht Club, captures the spirit of the public moments of America's Cup races and also the quieter times behind the scenes. His b&w photographs, together with the text by Jobson (author and television sailing commentator), provide a picture of the turbulent battles and elegant boats that evoke the sensibility of the early years of the 20th century. Oversize: 9.25x11.25<">. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis
Hardcore racing fanatics and casual daytrippers alike will be entertained and educated by an insider's view of the early history of the America's Cup. Highlighting this history are previously unpublished photographs of Edwin Levick and his sons from the first 10 America's Cup races. These evocative photographs are complemented by the personal anecdotes and insights of author Gary Jobson, a tactician on two winning America's Cup boats. Levick's photographs, housed at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, offer a rare and exciting look at sailing's premier race.
