[C38] Fwd: 1987 America's Cup Retrospective this Weekend on ESPN Classic

[Joseph Launie]

Dan,
     That racing was done in 12 meters which were just a larger, faster 
version of the boats w were sailing.  I do not relate to these new huge 
catamarans which are so different from sailing as I know it.  I would 
not go to see the present America's Cup if it were held in my yacht 
club. Joe
