Buy it for the photos!

This is a visually stunning book, with hundreds of photos from the Volvo Ocean Race as well as past Whitbred races. The photos alone make this book a worthy addition to your library. However, there's also text, and while it isn't as in depth as I'd have liked, it still conveys much of the excitement from the races. The quotes from the racers are also well picked, and help the flow of the book.
