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

[Steve Smolinske]

Joe, you should watch the cats, I agree with you and prefer our sloops, however I do have to admit that while we were in San Francisco prior to the start of the Coastal Cup, they were in the bay practicing, It is a sight to see them accelerate, turn and just scream across the water.

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

1987 America's Cup Retrospective




This Saturday, February 4, 2010


Six months after losing the America’s Cup in 1983, Hall of Famer Dennis Conner mounted a comeback. But, first he had to defeat 12 other teams to earn the right to be the challenger.  


 Dennis Conner with NSHOF President Dick Franyo at
2011 Induction Ceremony<http://foredeck.nshof.org/images/blast%20images/dennisconner-induction%281%29.JPG> After a grueling elimination series Conner prevailed, and faced the Australians in the 1987 America's Cup. Conner won in four straight, and became a national hero. ESPN covered the races live.


An ESPN Classic program, scheduled for airing this weekend on February 4th, revisits this amazing comeback tale. Dennis Conner relives the experience on the 25th year Anniversary of his victory with Stars & Stripes, including scenes from the October 23rd NSHOF Induction at the San Diego Yacht Club.
 
The program is sponsored by North Sails and Rolex. It is hosted by Gary Jobson and Jim Kelly.
