Recensione:
"Take it from a neutral observer: the most accomplished competitor at work in British sport today is Ben Ainslie. Chris Hoy, Lewis Hamilton and Rebecca Adlington deserve praise but the real fanfare should be reserved for Ainslie ... [He has] a combination of dedication, stamina, tactical nous and, the clincher here, a sustained level of ruthlessness rarely witnessed before in British sport" (Henry Winter Daily Telegraph)
"Sailing's superman" (The Times)
"An interesting self-portrait ... it encapsulates his personality: pleasant and unassuming off the water, ruthless on it" (Independent)
"A must-read for any sailing fan... Ben’s inside account makes for fascinating reading" (All at Sea magazine)
