ADMIRAL'S CUP

Post by aukepalmhof » Wed Feb 09, 2011 7:51 pm

Sailed every other year in late summer in the waters off the south of England, the Admiral's Cup ocean-racing series attracts more national teams and yachts than any other. Since 1977 the series has comprised five races - the 200 mile Channel Race; three 35 mile inshore events; and the 605 mile Fastnet. Points are doubled for the Channel race and tripled for the Fastnet. New Zealand won the trophy in 1987.
