The famous and successful Cubebook series continues to grow with this book dedicated to those who love the sea and, in particular, sailboating. Enthusiasts swear that the only way to truly experience the sea is by voyaging far and wide aboard a sail boat. This book celebrates sailing, fascinating both historically and from a contemporary viewpoint, not just through a pictorial display of striking images of the most beautiful boats, from ultramodern and high-tech to historic sailing vessels, but also with photos of astonishing details from exceptionally luxurious and hand-crafted ships. The book also contains candid photos from the world`s most prestigious regattas and from important events in the most famous coastal sailing resorts. From these pages emerges the timeless struggle between man and sea, and the fact that sometimes this struggle becomes an unmitigated lifestyle.
