Faster & Faster. The Story of the 1993-94 Whitbread Round the World Race
Year: 1994 Language: english Author: Fisher B., Pickthall B. Genre: Manual Publisher: Adlard Coles Nautical ISBN: 0713640898 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 111 Description: The Whitbread Round the World Race has always been one of the highest profile yachting events in the world — the one event in the calendar of yacht races that stands out from all others because of its intense competitiveness, testing conditions, staggeringly expensive campaigns and, most of all, its high calibre sailors. From the knife-edge line starts to record breaking runs as the crews battled it out across the world's oceans, to nail biting finishes, every inch of the route is hard fought — with no quarter being given. Faster & Faster, with spectacular action photographs, encapsulates the magic, the excitement, the intense pressure, the danger and the sheer endurance of competing in this Everest of ocean racing. Bob Fisher and Barry Pickthall, who have covered every Whitbread race since these famous circumnavigations began in 1973, were at each port to record the amazing stories first hand from the crews as they docked. Theirs is a tale packed with excitement from cover to cover.
