"Can women compete equally with men in a virtually all-male sport? In the battle for the America's Cup, sailing's hightest prize, twenty-eight women set out to prove that they could. Most of the sailing world scoffed: Certainly women couldn't have the mental or physical strength, let alone sailing experience to be worthy competitors. But the skeptics snapped to attention when the women's team of America, won the first round of the four-month contest, defeating all-male teams..Written by crew member Anna Seaton Huntington, Making Waves is a compelling account of the women's team training challenges, victories, and defeats. Their mistakes reveal valuable insights about the difference between teamwork and leadership, between players and management, and ultimately between men and women."
