America's Cup

A unique collaboration between the House of Louis Vuitton and Taschen, America’s Cup is a celebration of the daring, dedication and vision that define the most coveted prize in the world of sailing. Curated texts by more than a dozen guest contributors, including illustrious yacht racers, offer a fascinating journey through the history of the regatta from its inception in 1851 to the present day. These compelling accounts are accompanied by rare photographs of famous boats behind the scenes and in competition, along with blueprints, historical documents, and an illustrated index of all the winners. With an exclusive design by Marc Newson, America’s Cup is the story of more than 170 years of tradition, innovation and top-level performance – values that resonate with the heritage of Louis Vuitton. This magnificent book is also available in a special collector’s edition, as well as an exclusive art edition signed by Marc Newson.
