Description

Russell Coutts. Course to Victory by Paul Larsen. "Russell Coutts has been in the forefront of New Zealand and international yachting for more than twenty years. His emergence as the world's number one ranked match racing skipper has paralleled New Zealand's emergence as a sailing superpower. After learning to sail in the strong winds off Wellington, he began winning dozens of championships, culminating in Olympic Gold in 1984. His victories at the helm of Black Magic are now folklore and the magic continues with his latest success winning the Brut Cup series. In Course to Victory Coutts chronicles New Zealand's decade-long struggle to win sport's oldest trophy. His is the inside story, never before told, of the Michael Fay challenges of 1987, 88 and 92, during which New Zealand yachting grew from "an excuse to work up a thirst" to global recognition as a community of elite athletes." The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with some creasing and scuffing down the edges. The book has a slight lean and some rubbing wear on the bottom of the front cover but overall a tidy book. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page.
