Now it has grown, with teams from nineteen nations taking part, and the competition has become progressively stiffer. What began as a friendly challenge between gentlemen yachtsmen has become the sailing grand prix with highly sophisticated racing machines, driven by sailors who spend much of their time actively engaged in the sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with colour images and illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nImmaculate with only light wear on dust jacket and faint marks on end papers.
