AC Vets

TFE with old long-time Cup friends and veterans Bruno Trouble (FRA), Dyer Jones (USA) and Christine Belanger (FRA) at a recent informal reception in the Port America's Cup. Bruno founded the Louis Vuitton Cup in Newport for the '83 Cup. Dyer, who was for years our next-door neighbor in Newport, is the overall Regatta Director for AC 32 and ran the last two LVC's in Auckland. Christine is LV's sponsorship director for AC 32. Yikes, between among* the four of us we have done something like 40 America's Cups. Nice photo courtesy of LV's Monica Savini (FRA/USA).
