Far from the immigrant slums, the Suffragettes, and the Ludlow massacres, they wager small fortunes and pit their egos on their favorite distraction: big yacht sail racing. Its absolute pinnacle is the America's Cup -- the oldest trophy in world sport. For two penniless brothrs, it's the chance of a lifetime: to get the heck out of Deer Isle and etch their names in Cup history. But they'll have to fight for places with the rival West Bay crew. There are old feuds to be settled on and off the water" -- Page 2 of cover. 20240809. America's Cup Fiction. Yacht racing Fiction. Yachts Design and construction Fiction. TXKIP
