Book description

to cruise up the Amazon or cross the Pacific on a windsurfer? How about
competing in the America's Cup or Volvo Ocean Race? These are just a few
of the 100 extraordinary experiences included in
Ultimate Sailing Adventures
.
There are more modest adventures too: share the experience of

Arctic Circle and from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the

eco-charter in Thailand or step aboard the sexiest yacht in the world.
Lively writing puts you at the helm while stunning photography brings
each adventure to life.
