I just ordered two books by the master, 'Expert Dinghy and Keelboat Racing', and 'Elvstrom Speaks on Yacht Racing'. Elvstrom and Bill Buchan were about the two closest things that I ever had to heroes as a young sailor. How many of us wanted to be 'the Great Dane' when we were kids? Yeah, I know about what happened in Germany in 1972, but he was, is, and always will be the master. His Tornado campaign with his daughter (in which he finished an amazing 4th!) for the Los Angeles Games may have been his most impressive accomplishment ever.
I had read about a biography of Elvstrom but haven't found it as of yet. Amazon has something that might have been his biography but it was $81 from their used book seller list.
