That's my dad's 32 Grandbanks at 18:44, my wife Cat, Cats Canvas did all his covers and cushions

On the first quiz if you where on the starboard side of the line would it not be faster because you can just reach up and tack?

So it was Dennis Conner’s fault they’re all sailing catamarans and stupid flying boats.

AC predates cricket lol, your talking through a hole in your arse mate, cricket date back to the knights of the holly wars ffs.

New Zealand had the last laugh against these Cheats.

NZ tried to cheat and ended up getting cornered.

This stupid event damaged sailing forever. Until then people watched sailing and the America’s Cup, despite the antics of the New York Yacht Club, was still a significant event that people took notice of. Once this farce was started and it went to court and it damaged the sport irreparably.

You know it does depend. On a smallish lake in either light airs or very heavy wind and with short legs, a planning monohull like my international fireball tacks a lot quicker , points higher to windward and goes on the plane with no terminal speed in heavy wind than my 14ft Newcat. Sonits wrong to say all cats are quicker than all monohulls.

losing a boat race to a country that doesnt have a lake or a sea. peak murica

Sail races that have to be decided in courts were the only way the US team could keep the cup so long…. They cant even get in the finals now. The NZ team is the most underfunded but has the best brains and talent.

Question should be: How did Australia lose the America's Cup? They are not even competing now. At least America is still interested and a big influence.

ETNZ, coming from Australia’s “little brother”, New Zealand having just won our 3rd consecutive AC; (2 of them defended), I’d love to know what both the NYYC AND Australia thinks of this achievement, considering NZ now hold the unique record of being the most successful nation other than the US, in the history of the event.

I'd love to travel back in time with an AC 75...."How you like my monohull now, biatch?" 🤣

And then came the Kiwis

Once NZ and Australia get involved in anything they are hard to beat probably the best sporting nations in the world per capita

There was a reference in the video to kiwi1 being the fastest time ever for a monohull so not sure Connors's reference to a slow boat means much.

Then the Kiwis came along.....

a terrible video conversion - is there better one?

Those USA sailors were so good. they were up against a much better opponent and still won 3 times - amazing respect!

They weren't the biggest boats ever - the 90' LWL 130' overall cutters were bigger. That's simple/.

Larry Ellison didn't become the richest man in the USA by being a "nice" person ... He tricked the Swiss into changing the rules which allowed him to use his wing sail. Without that change; this would have never happened. It did however and America's cup is now one of the most boring sports ever. WOW: This is so biased against Bertarelli !!! Larry Ellison must hate Ernesto Bertarelli profoundly (Just like he hates and tries to crush ALL his opponents. Pretty obvious WHO paid for this movie 🙂

Fay changed the America's Cup for the worst. Compare the Cup of 1983 to the joke event today which few outside of NZ care about.

Americans are experts at cheating

The gamesmanship of this series was unmatched in its humour and its ruthlessness. I remember Team Australia painting the keel to camouflage its underwater shape. There were attempts to get pictures from a helicopter in the hope that the secret might be revealed. I think the Americans had a pretty good idea of what it looked like but not with sufficient clarity. I certainly remember them trying to bolt ‘wings’ onto the end of their keel. After they beat Peter de Savary’s challenge, as Australia II was being towed back into the marina, they passed the American crew standing on the dock. A chant went up from the Aussies, ‘You’re next! You’re next! You’re next!’ Then there was the chrome spanner that the Australians kept waving at the Americans. It was rumoured that the cup was bolted down. Lexcen’s sense of mischief was evident again when he said that as soon as the racing was over, he’d take the cup out into the street, run it over with a steam roller and rename it ‘the Australia’s Plate’.

Where the Saxons are also damage you will find and Japan knows what I'm talking about

@13:39 he has the whiney sarcastic tone of someone who knows exactly what they're doing while using plausible deniability. Act like a Champion ffs.

beaker from the muppets at 9:03

Out of date in a year

Larry Allison: must hated man in history of american cup :*D. And he trash talk.. what a funny hero

They look so bloated and clunky compared to today's AC75s. I reckon even a AC40 could beat either of them in a race!

What a snooze fest compared to AC75

shame shame shame usa

16:53 literally the worst most erroneous comment of the entire video. Americans love to win more than anything. American culture is so focused on drive an winning that its pretty foreign to other countries, even countries that share a common language. Dude thinks Americans wanted to Australia to win? LOL

I remember that it, I was proud with Michael Fay and Bruce Farr were successful a KZ1 design was bigger size in history 1900s AC's boats. Until 2000s, we saw muilt-hull with foil went fast sometime lot crash & fell. It's difficuilt set up after fell. On 2019 our ETNZ and Italy were new design first "Foiling mono-hull" were first test been successfully is super faster, It's won't fell boat. Until now 2024, We saw more create boat like AC75 1/2 scales for Youth & Women race were success race and none crash. Good bye old technology (1800 to 2000) were slow speed of AC's yacht. From 2000 year toward, new technologies boat with foiling are much better high speed in low wind. So, Kiwi were proud ETNZ's design advance technologies and high performance AC boat are great winner than other countries.

I was still confounded and upset that the USA would be sailing a catamaran in the AC. I went down to San Diego with hopes the Kiwis could miraculously beat Conner. My only consolation was to see the kiwis majestic monohull in action and what a beautiful sight she was! I live in the past and of the days of the J Class beauties.

The 1988 America's Cup was the first hostile Deed of Gift challenge. End of story. Don't talk about honor... For everyone out there who never heard of this, the KZ1 was built with the sole purpose of being so preposterously absurd (size,cost,crew,etc) that no one could mount a defense in time. AKA a sucker punch. Live by the sword die by the sword.

D

Fast forward to 2024 and America's boat has been knocked out of the challenge, Oh how Karma can be so sweet!!

What an upbeat, positive documentary about stubbornness ruining competitive, engaging America's cup racing for way over a decade. America's cup sailing is just about to recover from what has been undone with this lawsuit-drived DoD match.

The only reason the US kept it for sooo long was all the cheating and convenient rule changes by NYYC

the Kiwi's FAFO.

Australian here. I was 17 at the time and this was huge news. The euphoria at the time was amazing, Allan Bond, John Bertrand, Australia II, and no internet, just all over the news. And my boss won big on a bet, bought his wife a new car and gave me 2 days off. Win, win. (We closed up the shop, a saw repair/sales business, just the 2 of us working, and his wife did the accounting). And that keel,😂😂😂😂

That lady's daughter now be like "Get that cup from Temu, mom"

I have been an avid sailor since I was a child, mostly Cats..but I have owned and sailed 25-33-40 footers....I remember that I did not like Dennis Conner, and I have always been a Bruce Farr fan. My father could not believe the court system was tied up with such nonsense......my memory of it was this was a 40 footer race, and NZ showed up with a 90 foot boat...hence the Cat response. I don't know any sailor in America that thought the America's cup was suppose to be a multi hull race. To me, it should have stayed a 40 foot race..... These days the Mini 6.5s and the Vende are the must watch stuff.

What a shame they filmed it with a potato.

Michael Faye thought he was clever, the Americans showed him he was stupid.
