This book captures the excitement, the joys and the heartbreak of a great race, but also provides technical information. Black and white photographs throughout, taken before, during and after the race. Contains a complete photographic record of all the yachts including measurements, and details of the crews; also a complete table of the official results.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge.
