Surrounded by water, New Zealand is a nation born for sailing. This collection brings together titles that reflect the love of feeling the wind in your sails: from 1968’s Spindrift, which pays homage to yachting on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf, to a modern-day circumnavigation of the North Island in Waka Warriors. And it wouldn’t be a sailing collection without recognising the America’s Cup, and the sailors that have put New Zealand on the competitive sailing map. Plus check out the backgrounders by veteran yachting commentator Peter Montgomery, and TV sports executive Denis Harvey.
