At the 2012 Olympics in the Finn class, Ben Ainslie won his fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal to add to the silver medal from 1996 to become the most successful Olympic sailor of all time. This book describes the journey of 24 sailors as they prepare for the biggest regatta of their lives and continues through to the thrilling medal race where Ainslie secured his record breaking fourth gold medal. It is a unique account, told mainly in the words of the sailors. Through these stories and photos you can re-live one of the most momentous weeks in sailing.
