The AC Turns 155

Yesterday was the 155th birthday of the America's Cup, the date (22 August) in 1851 on which the yacht America raced and beat 14 British vessels around the Isle of Wight -- spawning the adventure we are on in Spain and have now been involved with, in one capacity or another, for (yikes!) 26 years.

You may find interesting the story posted about the Cup's birthday on the BMW ORACLE Racing team blog. There's a few bits, too, on the Challenger Commission blog.
