Thread Name: BS: America's cup.
Subject: RE: BS: America's cup.
I remember back in the sixties, Britain's challenger for the Americas Cup was being built at a very small yard in Sandbank Scotland.
The yard was so small that the bow of the boat protruded over the main road. I passed under it most mornings.

Amazing how things have changed....the boat was called "Sceptre" and I don't think she won a race against the American Yacht.

Very good luck to the New Zealanders in the "Americas"...Ake
