Author Chris Santella has assembled a crew of the world's greatest championship racers and professional adventurers and persuades them to disclose their favorite destinations around the globe. Featuring some of the best-known men and women in the sport-Tom Whidden and Gary Jobson (members of the winning 1987 America's Cup crew), Jeff Johnstone (of J-Boats), award-winning sailing writer Lin Pardey, and many others-this is a unique full-color celebration for sailors to relive their greatest memories or plan their next big adventure. The amazingly diverse places they've selected include: Australia: Fremantle and Sydney Bermuda: St. George's Harbor Brazil: Bay of Ilha Grande California: Channel Islands and San Francisco Bay Chile: Cape Horn Hawaii: Lahaina to Honolulu Italy: Costa Smeralda, Sardinia Maine: Boothbay Harbor, Penobscot Bay, Southwest Harbor Florida: Biscayne Bay and Key West Scotland: Firth of Clyde South Africa: Cape Town And dozens more! For each of the 50 places, the sailor recommending the venue spins an entertaining yarn about their experience there, and each description is accompanied by a "make you want to go there now" photograph.
