Description
The Billionaire and the Mechanic: How Larry Ellison and a Car Mechanic Teamed up to Win Sailing's Greatest Race, the Americas Cup, Twice In a remarkable tale of unlikely partnership, a billionaire and a car mechanic joined forces to conquer the world's greatest sailing competition. Oracle Team USA's incredible comeback in the 34th America's Cup, where they overcame a 8-1 deficit to win eight straight races, is a story of perseverance, ingenuity, and teamwork. With unparalleled access to the team, author Julian Guthrie takes readers inside the building process of the America's Cup-winning boats and the lives of the athletes who crew them. The book also explores the 34th America's Cup, with a new section that delves into the details of this remarkable competition. From the Golden Gate Yacht Club to the racing courses of Australia and Valencia, Guthrie's book is a thrilling account of the America's Cup, told through the eyes of the people who made it happen.
