Default Am Cup 1992

There's Il Moro with Spinnaker Flying. Now I hope they get thru.

That was the elimination Series.


Hmm, I don't remember that one. IIRC Il Moro didn't fly an
asymmetric thru the final races. The one race they did win
(3rd one?) was an excellent demonstration of tactics...
clearly America3 was the faster boat, but Cayard kept them
behind using excellent tactics and one very aggressive (and
very predictable... what was Buddy Melges thinking?) luff,
right before a gybe mark I think it was.

I'd sit down and watch that series over again. The last
series was also interesting for the races between the SF
team and the Swiss; the NZ team displayed a comedy of
errors. I wish I had some film of some of our races.
