Team spirit: life and leadership on one of the world's toughest yacht races

Team Spirit is a gripping account of a race on the edge, and a young skipper's determined journey to victory.

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the ultimate long distance challenge - a 35,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, contested by amateur crews in identical racing yachts - and the winners are those who keep their focus the longest.The 2010 winner was 28-year-old Brendan Hall and his crew in Spirit of Australia.

Although Brendan was the youngest and least experienced skipper in the race, the win was no accident - it was the culmination of years of training, skilled navigation and a leadership style way beyond his years.
