This meticulously researched, engagingly written and lavishly illustrated history by leading sailing author, Robin Elliott, tells the full story – the “edge of control” spectacular sailing, the characters, the contests and the controversies, the pain and the passion, that created the 18-footers, beloved of sailors and spectators alike.
Essential reading and highly recommended.
