I really enjoyed this book, its a fun sailing adventure on one hand. Then is a accurate account of high dollar yacht racing and it throws in some social commentary as well, in the fact that it reminds us how much pride the brittish take in there yacht racing. yes it has a lot of sailing jargon in it, but not enough to be confusing or detract from the story
