ABOUT
The story of Bruce Farr and Russell Bower is one of the greatest sailing success stories to come out of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Its beginnings were humble enough - supportive parents of modest means encouraging their sons. Yet an abundance of wind and water and rich imagination would soon change that.
This is their story: a story of how the intellect, vision and courage of a fisherman's son from Leigh and a solicitor's son from Auckland triumphed over adversity and age-old superstitions to change the character of their sport and the shape of speed.
Includes monochrome and colour images, diagrams.
