Final confirmation that Valencia v would be the venue came only eight weeks before the Cup was due to start (see our story in On the Wind, page 17). PRE It’s extraordinary that so much uncertainty can hang over such a The AmericA’s prestigious event. Yet those who have followed the acrimonious road to the 33rd Cup will be used to its convoluted path. To the casual observer the courtroom battles might seem to have been no more than an ego-fuelled squabble between two of the richest men in the world. But it has been cup, buT noT much more than that – the fundamental rules of fairness have been questioned and AMERICA’S CUP AMERICA’S the arguments have involved issues that could set a precedent for Cup Matches to come and even for yacht racing in general. Both sides feel that the cornerstones of the America’s Cup have been tampered with. Both have valid points. A Challenger, As we know iT having spent over US$200 million on a Last month we took a close look at the two giant multihulls of campaign, would want some assurance before the start of the regatta that their boat Alinghi and BMW Oracle as they prepared for a 33rd America’s would at least measure. And the Defender, Cup that has been mired in controversy. Now they are due to meet having paid out for organising and developing the 32nd and 33rd events, might off Valencia and Matthew Sheahan anticipates how they will fare expect to have their full entitlement to a Defender’s advantages under the Deed of on a new type of course at a challenging time of year Gift. Now a battle that started ashore in 2007 will be played out on the water in Valencia aboard the most extreme racing machines ever seen. What happens next will set the America’s Cup off on a new and exciting heading. Historically, such public punch-ups have always resulted in a major change for the better. The bitter Dunraven affair of the 1890s was so acrimonious that it left many asking whether the Cup could survive. Yet, it pre-empted the Lipton era and his five consecutive Challenges, each in extreme machines of the day, leading to the J Class. The legal wrangling over the validity of Australia II’s wing keel in 1983 brought the world’s attention to the fact that the Americans could be beaten and recipitated a flurry of new Challengers.

But here’s IE loophole in the Deed of Gift and the biggest look at the sailing team.

  • Barbara Kendall Boardsailing
    Olympic Education Barbara Kendall Boardsailing It was Christmas Eve 1974, and Barbara, her brother Bruce and her sister Wendy were snuggled down in their bunks on their old yacht Sunlight. While Wendy and Bruce drifted off to sleep, relaxed by the motion of the boat, 7-year-old Barbara waited, listening to the water lapping on the side of the boat and the murmur of her parents’ voices. “Where is he? When will he come?” wondered Barbara, still wide awake. From her bunk, she could only just see the outline of the boat’s mast, where Santa and his reindeer would come at midnight. She was determined to stay awake, but eventually the motion of the boat won and she drifted off to sleep. This kind of determination would drive Barbara all her life. Early years – dancing, sailing and windsurfing Barbara Kendall was born on August 30th 1967, the youngest of three children. Barbara and Bruce were fiercely competitive, while Wendy was the peace-maker. All three siblings loved the sea, and their boating holidays on board Sunlight were the highlight of each summer. Fit and full of energy, they spent their days sailing or mooring in a bay to surf and swim. They picnicked, went on bushwalks, and searched out isolated beaches and sand dunes. One summer, they even discovered a shipwreck. Barbara, Bruce and Wendy at Mercury Islands on a paddle board their father had made for them.
