America’s Cup – The Book by TASCHEN is not merely a tribute to the world’s oldest sporting competition — it is a monumental work of art that captures the history, passion, and unmatched aesthetic of the most legendary sailing challenge. Since 1851, the America’s Cup has stood as more than just a race; it is a battleground of technological innovation, strategic brilliance, and pure nautical power, where the world’s most iconic yachts and elite sailors clash on the waves.
Curated by renowned journalist Paul Cayard and celebrated photographer Carlo Borlenghi, this limited-edition collector’s volume brings the legacy of the Cup to life with striking detail. Through rare photographs, archival materials, and firsthand accounts, it unfolds an epic story filled with innovation, courage, and tradition.
Its visual presentation matches the gravity of its content: large format, premium paper quality, and an artistic approach to publishing that resembles a gallery piece more than a conventional coffee table book. It is a coveted object for lovers of the sea, sailing, and the storied history of sport.
