Prevailing Wind - Hardcover
Prevailing Wind - Hardcover
Details
by Thomas Dolby (Author)
It is 1913, and the plutocrats of the New York Yacht Club have amassed more power and wealth than the US Treasury itself.
Davey and Jacob Haskell, brothers from a poor lobster fishing community in Maine, have a single shot at greatness when they try out for the sailing crew of a NYYC millionaire's luxury racing yacht.
Honor, betrayal, and the cruelty of an egomaniacal skipper put the brothers' family loyalties to the test as they set out to expose a dark secret covered up for years in the corridors of the New York Yacht Club.
"Dolby takes us behind the scenes as an intense competition evolves into a high stakes grudge match. The quest for victory is an emotional
roller coaster ride. Once you start reading you won't want to stop."
-Gary Jobson, America's Cup Hall of Fame Inductee
"A ripping yarn ... full of mysteries, passion, class struggle, and ruthless competitive spirit. Prevailing Wind is an absolute blast!"
-J.J.Abrams, Filmmaker
