| 500 | _a"The chapters in this book cover a range of topics related to how sailing has been and will always be very much part of the fabric of our society and culture, from the builders of some of the most impressive sailing ships this country has produced, to those whose small, accessible sailing dinghies introduced thousands of New Zealand children to the joys (and frustrations) of being on the water. Armed with skills learned on summer weekend race-days, some of those kids went on to become world champions in a variety of classes and events"--Introduction. | ||
