International Americas Cup Class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Americas Cup Class is a class of sailing vessels that was developed for the America's Cup competition. These yachts which, while not identical, are all designed to a particular formula, so as to make the boats involved in a competition roughly comparable, while still giving individuals the freedom to experiment with the details of their designs. The class was established prior to the 1992 America's Cup because of perceived shortcomings of the 12-metre class, which had been used in the America's Cup since 1958.
In addition to the America's Cup, IACC yachts are raced in other regattas, including the IACC worlds
