Description

Lion. The Round the World Race with Lion New Zealand by Peter Blake and Alan Sefton. 'In that crowded, noisy bar in a distant land, in the wee small hours of the morning, another major kiwi challenge for the Round the World race was conceived. The progeny would be a Lion. . .' Peter Blake has become a legend in New Zealand sporting history. He is one of only two yachtsmen in the world to have sailed in all four Whitbread Round the World races. With Ceramco New Zealand, in the 1981-82 Whitbread, he captured the hearts and the imagination of a nation as he and his crew overcame tremendous odds to finish the 27,000-mile classic with distinction. The race was vividly relived in the bestselling Blake's Odyssey, one man against his oldest adversary - the sea. No sooner was that race over than Blake began planning for the next, this time in a new yacht, Lion New Zealand. Lion is the story of that epic adventure, from the early planning stages and the building of the yacht to the dramatic finish in Portsmouth. A LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
