Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 385 Pages. Brand new gift quality condition. Interior text pages are flawless. First published in Australia and New Zealand in 1986 by Bantam. This is a 1993 Second Printing. This book is the breathtaking true story of one man's struggle to climb the only unconquered Everes…t in the world of sport-to capture the America's Cup from the United States. It was a task which no one had ever come even remotely close to achieving in the 132-year history of the international yachting contest. From every major battle there comes a hero. On September 26, 1983, the America's Cup produced such a hero, its own Sir Gallahad, the tall, smiling, laconic Australian skipper who ultimately emerged victorious. His name is John Bertrand. This is the stirring account of his obsession with the trophy, a literary sporting classic from the very heart of our times, a book for everyone. It is a joyous lesson in the cold-blooded art of winning against all possible odds-the human drama of a group of daring men whose search for excellence swept them onto the pages of the history of the Australian nation. I t is a helmsman's eye view, in engrossing and intimate detail, of one of the dramatic victories in the history of sport. It is as much about life, love, and the triumph of the human spirit as it is about a trophy. You don't have to be a sailor to sense the great drama of this sea battle.
