America's Cup 1992 part 3

Merry Christmas everybody!
I hope you are having a nice relaxing holiday with your family and friends.

This is a picture of the Spanish IACC boat from 1992 called ESP22.
The boat finished 5th in San Diego, beating the Swedish boat who placed 7th.
The only boat the Swedish boat Tre Kronor SWE-19 beat was Australia Challenge AUS-17.

America's Cup 1992 part 2

The New Zealand team did a very impressive challenge in 1992.
They built a total of five boats. The syndicate chairman was Sir Michael Fay. Skipper Rod Davis, and debuting as syndicate manager was no one other than Sir Peter Blake.
Unfortunately NZL 20 lost against ITA 25 Il Moro di Venezia V (even if Wiki calls ITA 16 the winner in the 1992 LV cup), in the Louis Vuitton final. I will off course change this information if it turns out to be wrong.
Being a young boy hanging out in the bars in San Diego, I met several of the team members working in the New Zealand team, which lead to a trip down under for me.
Read more about the late Sir Peter Blake here.
Read more about Il Moro Di Venezia IV here.

Il Moro Di Venezia's chairman Raul Gardini, unfortunately took his life in 1993 after his financial and political integrity had been called into serious question.
