Description: James Spithill is one of the world's most successful racing skipper, and at the age of 37 has already reached legendary status. His prestarts in America's Cup are a legend. One above all: the prestart of the Luis Vuitton Cup in 2007, where Spithill on Luna Rossa humiliated Chris Dickson (Oracle). In 2013 he led Oracle Team USA to victory against New Zealand against massive odds, recovering from 1-8 to win 9-8. The Wall Street Journal called it 'one of the greatest comebacks in sports history', Spithill was the skipper for Oracle's upcoming 2017 America's Cup defence as well. This book is his autobiography, and it opens with a young Jimmy in hospital about to have surgery on his leg, being told by the doctors he'll never be much good at sport. This sparks a life-long determination to prove them wrong. He won his first race aged 10, and debuted in the America's Cup as a skipper at age 20.
