In the modern world of sailing, 12-Metre yachts have no right to exist. Yet they do and are proliferating, their existence guaranteed by one prestigious event held every three years — the America’s Cup.

The beauty of the 12-Metre yacht is unmistakable. Bob Fisher’s camera has sought these anachronistic craft in a variety of conditions and locations. He has watched the boats and talked with their sailors and designers, absorbing many hitherto unrevealed anecdotes of the 12-Metre world. He has used this first-hand information to provide an absorbing commentary to his pictures and a background to the men and boats that take part in the greatest, and most expensive, sporting challenge in the world.

The result is a stunning celebration of 12-Metre racing and deserves a place on every sailor’s bookshelf.”
