Summary:
"The
International
Fishermen’s
Cup
was initiated in 1920 in response to the dandification of the Americas
Cup
. It was intended as a
race
for working boats sailed by working men. The
race
eventually became much more than that, and acrimony plagued its two-decade history.
McLaren
tells the story of the
race
and the
Bluenose
, but he does much more. A
Race
for
Real
Sailors
paints a vivid picture of the dangerous life of a deep-water fisherman as his world is being taken over by safer but much less romantic trawlers. McLaren’s riveting
race
descriptions are interspersed with fascinating background facts."--Quill & Quire Magazine.
