Mission Statement

Pardon our dust. America's Cup Update is an ongoing passion for the sport that has held sway over me for the last 30 years. My hopes for the site is create an archival database for all you 'Cup lovers to visit...and your out there! My own experience comes from my coverage of the sport in the 1980's with 12-Meter Update and Longitude 122. I am a bit of a pack rat and I have over 30 boxes of collected materials and information on the America's Cup. I have also collected magazines on the subject since 1958, also my birthdate and have pretty much every issue of Yachting, Sail, Sailing, Sailing World, Seahorse, Yachting World etc etc since.
What you will see from this site is an ongoing commentary and hopefully an open forum for discussion.
Anyway, enjoy if you find us and if so pass the word.
