The Race: The First Nonstop, Round-The-World, No-Holds-Barred Sailing CompetitionHoughton Mifflin Harcourt, 2002 - 316 頁 An invigorating behind-the-scenes look at the world of extreme sailing, The Race is also a taut, engrossing account of the first running of the competition called The Race, which began on December 31, 2000, in Barcelona and ended sixty-two days later in Marseilles. The most intense event of its kind -- a nonstop circumnavigation of the globe in the fastest boats ever built -- The Race attracts some of the world's best sailors and arguably its most eccentric personalities. |
