[edit] Three time America's Cup Winners

Courageous and Intrepid won twice. Which other yacht won twice? Boatman 20:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I have amended this part with reference to the list of challengers and defenders in America's Cup. If you are looking at that article, note that there are successive wins for Stars and Stripes in 1987 and 1988, but those are two different boats.Patche99z (talk) 17:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Hi Patche99z, Team Alinghi won twice sailing different AC class boats. Not sure if this is relevant to the article re Courageous the 12-metre class boat. My recommendation is that info re multiple winning teams, helmsman, yacht clubs, countries etc is included in the main America's Cup article. Info relating to other multiple winning boats is relevant in the Courageous yacht article and could be included there. rgds, Boatman (talk) 09:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Boatman. You obviously have much greater knowledge than I have. I have removed the incorrect ref to Alinghi in this article. But I do think that the situation of Alinghi sailing two different boats of the same name is not at all clear, either in the Alinghi article (which I see you have contributed to) or in the America's Cup article. May I ask if you would put in a line or two there to clarify? If I do it, I will probably get something subtly wrong. Thanks. Patche99z (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
