Description
No marks or inscriptions and no creasing to covers. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 63pp. In the summer of 1985 nine men attempt to break the record for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing ever. With skipper Ted Toleman, Richard Branson, Chay Blyth, Dag Pike and the rest of the crew battle their way in 3 days 10 hours racing for the coveted Blue Riband title. This is a history of the event and their individual stories. Illustrated. Extremely scarce. We do not use stock photos, the picture displayed is of the actual book for sale. Every one of our books is in stock in the UK ready for immediate delivery.
