Sinopsis

This vintage book is information on historical yacht races and racing teams from the early twentieth century, complete with detailed descriptions of the events, information on notable figures, articles on rules, and historical track charts.

Relive the drama, danger, and glory of the world's most challenging sailing competitions with Ocean Racing - The Great Blue Water Yacht Races. First published in 1936, this seminal work became the definitive contemporary account of the rise of ocean racing as a major international sport.

Loomis, a participant in many of the races he describes and a long-time contributor to Yachting magazine, expertly captures the excitement of famous contests like the Bermuda Race, the Trans-Atlantic Race, and the Fastnet Race. The book is celebrated not only for its vivid storytelling but also for its intimate knowledge of the boats and the characters, the owners, designers, and crews, who defined the sport's early decades.
