What reading level is The "america'" Cup Races book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After her first season some alterations, princi- pally in her ballast, were made and she did much better. Her owner, and also her designer, had great faith in her; yet judging from her per- formance in these waters she was not as fast as Genesta. Certainly she did not push Mayflower as hard as Genesta did Puritan, and Puritan could always give Mayflower a good race.
In anticipation of Galatea's coming, Boston yachtsmen immediately " got busy " after the 1885 race, with a view to holding the lau...rels they had won. General Paine, one of the Puri- tan syndicate, feeling sure that Puritan could be improved upon, which feeling was shared by the yacht's designer, placed an order with Edward Burgess for a new sloop, somewhat larger than Puritan, of which he was to be the sole owner.
From an unknown local designer, with a dingy back office up three flights of stairs (it was said that Burgess and his brother set up in business in 1883 with a drawing board, a T square and a few drawing instruments), Burgess at once took rank among the foremost naval architects of this country and his name was known from coast to coast and throughout the yachting world 156 THE "AMERICA'S" CUP RACES of Europe.
