Communications for the America's Cup Challenge Published on Telsoc (https://telsoc.org) Home > Communications for the America’s Cup Challenge Communications for the America’s Cup Challenge Simon Moorhead [1] Ericsson Australia and New Zealand AJTDE - Vol 6, No 3 - August 2018 [2] [3] 51 [4] Abstract Two historic papers from a special issue of the Journal in 1986 featuring the communication requirements for the America’s Cup 1986/87 challenge in Fremantle. Introduction In 1986, the Society produced a special issue of the Telecommunication Journal of Australia (Volume 36, Number 2) featuring ten papers on the communication needs for the Americaâs​ Cup challenge scheduled for 1986/87. Two of these papers have been selected for this historic review. In 1983, Australia II from the Royal Perth Yacht Club in Fremantle, Western Australia, was successful in winning the Americaâs​ Cup from the New York Yacht Club, ending over 130 years of possession and 24 previously unsuccessful challenges. The race history is well known, with Australia II coming from 1/3 down to win 4/3, and the world yachting spotlight focussed on Fremantle for the Cupâs​ defence in 1986/87. The first paper (Hume, 1986 [5]) provides a summary of the Americaâs​ Cup history and an overview of the infrastructure and telecommunication requirements in Western Australia. Logistically, seven syndicates challenged for the cup in the US in 1983. Initially, twenty-six syndicates indicated they were serious about challenging in 1986/87, which later was reduced to thirteen by the time of the elimination races. The paper details the necessary upgrades to dock facilities at Fremantle, and provides an explanation of the â1​ 2 metreâ ​ boat dimension rule and the race program for this first Australian defence. The second paper (Herring, 1986 [6]) discusses the infrastructure establishment, service provision, television operations and navigational equipment. The number of additional visitors to Perth was estimated at well over one million people, of which twelve percent would be overseas visitors. This influx forced major capital works to be undertaken and helped the introduction of new technology, such as debit-card public phones. All spare telecommunications capacity in the surrounding area was also brought on-line for the event. The other papers in this special issue of the Journal on the communications for the Americaâs​ Cup 1986/87 challenge are highly recommended for further reading and cover the following topics; Video and Sound Programme Network for Americaâs​ Cup; 1 Cabling for the Cup â ​ A District Prospective; Americaâs​ Cup Impact on Perth Interstate and International Telephony Traffic; 12 Metre Yacht Telemetry System; Frequency Management for the Americaâs​ Cup; Americaâs​ Cup Media Complex; The Official Americaâs​ Cup Directory. Dennis Conner skippered the Stars and Stripes 87 yacht to a 4/0 victory over Kookaburra III at Fremantle in early 1987. The Cup subsequently returned to San Diego Yacht Club in America. This was the last time twelve metre yachts were raced for the Americaâs​ Cup, as the rules were changed to allow for different boat designs such as multi-hull catamarans. References Hume, B.

The America’s Cup, one of the most famous competitions between countries, was held here in Newport 12 times from 1930 to 1983, and for nine of those times, from 1958 to 1983, the sailboat used to determine the winners was the 12 Metre, a single-masted sloop of approximately 68 feet (21 metres) in length. Scenes from the docks after Australia II won the 1983 America’s Cup (Photos by Gilles Martin-Raget) Click photo to download During the 12 Metre Cup years, thousands of sailors, support teams, families and spectators from around the world swarmed lower Thames Street and wharves such as Bannister’s where the 12 Metres and their teams headquartered during races that determined a final defender and challenger destined to spar one- on-one for the coveted silver ewer that was “The Cup”. The most memorable Cup in Newport was unfortunately its last; 1983 marked the first winning challenge to the New York Yacht Club, which had 12 METRE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2019 successfully defended the Cup over a period of 132 years. An Australian syndicate representing the Royal Perth Yacht Club wrested the precious trophy from its decades-old resting place, breaking a winning streak that was the longest on record in any sport.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.
