The Challenge, this is a long shot...

[mattdawson]

Dear all,

I have a fond memory from my childhood of watching a tv series called 'The Challenge' on ITV with my dad years ago.

It was the story of Austalia II winning the America's Cup in 1983.

I'd really like to get this for my dad's birthday, does anyone know if this is available to buy anywhere?

Many thanks,

Matt.

Yes seems only to be avail 2nd hand here a great book though, I really couldn't put it down and I'm not particularly keen on racing. A must read for all of us.

This web site has videos. Volume 6 seems to be the one.
