Team Spirit is a gripping account of a race on the edge, and a young skipper's determined journey to victory. The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the ultimate long distance challenge - a 35,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, contested by amateur crews in identical racing yachts - and the winners are those who keep their focus the longest.
The 2010 winner was 28-year-old Brendan Hall and his crew in Spirit of Australia. Although Brendan was the youngest and least experienced skipper in the race, the win was no accident - it was the culmination of years of training, skilled navigation and a leadership style way beyond his years.

What I thought really comes through is what to do when people sign up, and pay, to be a part of an adventure that includes a competitive aspect. Not everyone can take 10 months to sail around the world, and the experience was varied, the crews assigned by the race organizers. But while some want to experience a once-in-a-lifetime test of themselves, others want to wind win big. Brendan explains his approach and logic not just to planning but to that balance and also how to adapt and adjust mid-race.
A wonderful recounting of what he went through and as I mentioned above, you need not have sailed to appreciate the story, effort, and challenge, but if you have ... you can see, feel, and admire their journey.
