Did the Aussies beat us in the Americas Cup? ------------- |

No, they beat the yanks, who had had (surely) the longest winning streak in international sport. I don't remember this, however, as I reckon I was cheerfully c****ing and p***ing myself at the time, what with being three and a half months old. |

Damn, was that 25 years ago?
That's gone quick, if someone had asked I'd have said ten years or so. Tempus sure does fugit |

It does fugit faster with every year. My younger daughter's teacher was born in 1983. She surely wouldn't remember the America's Cup either. ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

I remember this - it was really exciting - even more exciting than my graduation which happened in the same year and a welcome relief from all the spring time swotting for finals. I wasn't even a real sailor at the time either, more a trolley dolly. Born to Win remains one of my favourite sailing stories too. ------------- the same, but different... |

I remember watching it in someones house - well not watching it exactly. There was a very fuzzy picture and it was about a 30 second clip on Channel 4. Oh those were the days when you were lucky to get 4 channels on your TV ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |
