The Louis Vuitton Cup (Updated Edition): Yacht Racing and the Pursuit of the America's Cup
- Used Book in Good Condition
Since 1983, the Louis Vuitton Cup has determined who qualifies to compete for the Americaâ€™s Cup competition, the worldâ€™s most prestigious yachting regatta. The involvement of the world-famous company in the race transformed the match from a friendly competition into an international, modern media event.

Louis Vuitton Cup tells the story of the Americaâ€™s Cup, which parallels Louis Vuittonâ€™s expansion from a company that specialized in building travel trunks to its presence as an internationally acclaimed luxury brand. The book traces the trajectory of the Cup, recounting stories of the individual races and victories, from the first in Newport, Rhode Island, to the most recent in Valencia, Spain. It includes profiles of the Cupâ€™s most prominent winners and pays tribute to the worldâ€™s most talented yachtsmen and the photographers who, passionate about the sea, helped forge the regattaâ€™s inimitable reputation.

Revised throughout and with 60 additional pages, the new edition covers all of the events that have occurred since the book's initial publication in 2008, presenting a fully up-to-date look at the exciting world of sailing competitions and the world's most coveted sailing trophy.
