Mavericks & Merlins: Sailors And Renegades Leave Shore, What About You? by Chip

Description: Mavericks & Merlins by Chip Merlin How A Talented Attorney Took His Passion To Win From The Courthouse To Offshore Yacht Racing. In 2017, attorney Chip Merlin got more than he bargained for when he accompanied a friend on a sailboat race to Cuba. He didnt know it then, but his life would never be the same. The racing bug bit hard … really hard. Right after the Cuba regatta, Chip bought a thirty-two-foot boat to start racing in the Tampa Bay area. Soon, however, sailing locally in Florida waters wasnt enough. He wanted to take his dad on the Newport to Bermuda race, reliving the days when they once raced small sailboats together. Chip needed an oceangoing speedster for the Bermuda race. He discovered that Merlin, an iconic racing yacht, was up for sale. Hed read about the boat in 1978 when he was in college after Merlin set a record for the Transpacific Yacht Race from California to Hawaii. Impressed, Chip vowed to buy the boat if he ever could. Fast-forward thirty-nine years, and the boat became Chips. With the help of a friend with offshore ocean racing experience, Chip found the right crew, and the push was on to get Merlin ready to race in 2018. What followed was a season of steep learning curves, hard knocks, triumphs, danger, tragedy, and joy in a riveting story that blends high-seas adventure with thoughtful self-reflection on life at home and in the boardroom. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Flap When Chip Merlin bought one of the most famous racing yachts in American history in 2017, he had no idea that the adventure would serve as a metaphor for what makes an effective business leader. As a longtime attorney specializing in representing clients in property claim disputes against their insurance companies, he understood what it took to build a successful law practice. Sailing a superfast seventy-one-foot yacht to victory on the racecourse ... not so much. Yet thats what Chip did.
