Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Thompson's paintings accompany a written history by Ranulf Rayner exploring a fine coverage of the world's most prestigious race for ocean-going yachts. Paintings depict dramatic scenes from every match from its 1851 beginnings through 1995 results. It could been seen as an art book but deserves mention as an excellent sports history reference, as well. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Story of America's Cup, 1851-1995 (Hardcover)
The updated version for 1995. This edition is famous for the fact that New Zealand finally grabbed the Americas Cup. The same as all the previous editions, beautifully illustrated by the artwork of Tim Thompson, Rayner has of course added extra chapters to cover the 1995 challange and the potential new venue. Only one drawback is the error of the course maps but still a great coffee table read.
