Fierce competitors both on and off the water in their youth, and now partners, Bruce Farr and Russell Bowler have revolutionised small-boat sailing in New Zealand and internationally, winning world championships with their designs. At age 20, Farr designed the world's first light displacement keel-boat to compete successfully within the rating rules of international competition. Where other designers had tweaked and modified, Farr started again from scratch, and his boats were to revolutionise boat design. 437 pages with photos. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.
