Dr. Koch will describe the approaches and procedures he used in winning the 1992 America's I Cup Match. Two notable differences between his approach and other aspirants for the oldest trophy in sports are Dr. Koch's emphases on teamwork and technology. Through a technology development program based on a scientific background and a disciplined approach, Dr. Koch's team, America3 developed the fastest boats amongst the ten competing teams. The use of a technical and design team introduced more useful ideas into the effort than could have come from a more traditional effort involving a more restricted set of individuals.

Serge K. Adam '95 competes against Simanta C. Chakraborty '95 in the early rounds of the contest. The objective of this year's com- petition was to deliver as many cans as possible into a bin In 30 seconds.

Introduction to Design (2.70) professor, Harry West PhD '70, I watches a close match between his students.

John Muir Kumph '95 gives his victory a thumbs-up.

The Choraillarles open the competition with a spirited MIT ballad.
