Expanded to include the behind-the-scenes story of the 34th America's Cup and Team USA's incredible comeback

Down eight-to-one in the 34th America's Cup in September 2013, Oracle Team USA pulled off a comeback for the ages, with eight straight wins against Emirates Team New Zealand. Julian Guthrie's The Billionaire and the Mechanic tells the incredible story of how a car mechanic and one of the world's richest men teamed up to win the world's greatest race. With a lengthy new section on the 34th America's Cup, Guthrie also shows how they did it again.

The America's Cup, first awarded in 1851, is the oldest trophy in international sports. In 2000, Larry Ellison, co-founder and billionaire CEO of Oracle Corporation, decided to run for the prize and found an unlikely partner in Norbert Bajurin, a car mechanic and Commodore of the blue-collar Golden Gate Yacht Club. After unsuccessful runs for the Cup in 2003 and 2007, they won for the first time in 2010. With unparalleled access to Ellison and his team, Guthrie takes readers inside the building process of these astonishing boats and the lives of the athletes who race them and throws readers into exhilarating races from Australia to Valencia.

FINALLY!!! Ordering more!
Size: 6, Color: Lapis Sights
Finally! Normal jeans for my little! Not stretchy not skinny not “jeggings,” normal, jean material that FIT HER PERFECT!!! She is 5, taller than most her age and solid so I have to buy her in tops and outfits usually 6/7. Although she's tall, these sizes in pants are to large for her waist. I ordered a 6 in these and could not be happier!! They perfectly fit her waist, hug her bottom just right, and sit right at the bottom of her foot. I will order more!! I have different styles coming from Levi, I hope those fit just as well. Will update with pics
