International Catamaran Challenge Trophy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Catamaran Challenge Trophy is the formal name for the more familiarly known Little Americas Cup and started in 1961 as a match racing series between two C Class catamarans[1], modelled on the Americas Cup series for yachts. In 2003 it changed its format, retaining match racing and moving from the increasingly rare C Class to the F-18HT catamaran
