Synopsis

'Project Cheers is a story of brilliant organization and endeavor by three men dedicated to an idea which many thought crazy. That idea was a fantastically fast twin hulled craft called Cheers, designed specifically by Dick Newick to win the Single-handed Transatlantic Race in 1968.' This is the second edition of this historically significant sailing classic since its first publishing in 1969. A website; http://www.cheersdicknewick.wordpress.com is ever developing to compliment the book. Photos, links, updates, bio's, and eventually video, complement the story.

À propos de l'auteur

Of the three authors and equal members of Project 68 described in the book, Tom Follett, Jim Morris, and Dick Newick, it was Dick Newick who became a celebrated multihull designer. 'Cheers' was but one of his designs that secured a place in sailing history. Jim Morris can be credited for making Project Cheers happen and Tom Follett; the extremely private, but much loved hero of this adventure.
