This review is from: Taking the Helm/One of America's Top Sailors Tells Her Story (Hardcover)

Who knows about the milestone Lyn has set in the Hawaiian Ironman?

By A Customer

This review is from: Taking the Helm/One of America's Top Sailors Tells Her Story (Hardcover)

I've been a Fan of Dawn and the Whitbread race for as long as I've been racing. This is a wonderful way of getting a birds eye view into the Whitbread and competitive racing.
