Bill Buchan - Star Fever

Star Fever
By William E. Buchan with Maureen Lander

The extraordinary memoir of Bill Buchan and his remarkable journey, from the genesis of his first sailing competition at age eleven, to winning three Star Class World Championships and the Olympic Gold.
How did he do it? What was his edge?
With his usual modest candor, Bill shares why, in a bygone era, he spent ten times more hours working on boats than sailing them—and how living in a "sailing frame of mind" helped him become one of the world’s most recognized sailing champions.
Part sailing history, part family saga, Star Fever offers a rare glimpse into a man, and a family, of uncommon dedication and hard work.
