>Of course Dennis hopes to win. His 1983 defeat was the first time the Cup >was taken from the U.S. since 1851. This assumes that Dennis can beat the team of Buddy Melges and Gary Jobson. Remember that since the N.Y. yacht club no longer holds the trophy, any USA yacht club (considered to be on an ocean) can supply a boat to compete. Dennis will have to defeat any USA competetion before he can even hope to compete for the cup. Buddy and Gary should prove to be quite a team! As for the first defeat since 1851, as I understand it 1983 was the first time they had a chance. It is my understanding that prior to 1983 they (other countries) were required to sail (ie. they couldn't be shipped over) their boats over to the USA and were also required to use only equipment from their country.
