As we wait for the America’s Cup venue for 2013 to be announced, a look at the reunion that celebrated the heady days of the America’s Cup in Newport.
In the 1977 America’s Cup, Ted Turner skippered the 12-Meter Courageous to victory in Newport, Rhode Island. In September 2010 some of the sailors from the glory days of the Cup in Newport gathered for a reunion regatta. The 12-Meter North American Championships brought together 250 sailors for three days of racing and reminiscing.
