"George Collins, Chessie Racing's founder and skipper, and Kathy Alexander, Chessie Racing's press officer, capture the essence of the Whitbread through the eyes and ears of Chessie Racing. They traveled to every port, and George sailed on three of the legs. They started observing and recording this emotional roller-coaster ride from Day 1 and present it here for all of us on shore to enjoy."—from the foreword by Gary Jobson, ESPN sailing commentator
