America's Cup: Trials & Triumphs is a concise history of some
of the most interesting of the international struggles for
possession of the acclaimed Cup. But more than that, Simpson writes
about the ingenuity and technical advancements made over the years
in hull and sail design for swift oceangoing sailing yachts. Not
satisfied by relating only the history of the America's Cup
challenges and defenses, Simpson illustrates some of the
interesting events that have changed commercial sailing into the
popular sport of sailboat racing. A sport that was once the
singular pleasure of wealthy barons of industry is now enjoyed by
thousands of middle-class citizens from many nations with access to
the sea. Also included in this volume are sailing techniques,
maneuvers and useful nautical terminology.
