From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boatman, you and I (col puck) do good work, this page was nothing when we started.

Completed list.

[edit] Suggestions

Would it be helpful to break the list apart by class rule/cup edition? Col Puck

  • This list is an 'easy' way to get a brief history of each IACC boat. As the list matures we are seeing more info specifically re LVC dates and AC editiions. There needs to be a separate paragraph included in the main International America's Cup Class article which gives a list of the rule numbers (is 5 the latest?) with a brief note of key differences of each new rule and the start and end date of the applicability of each rule.

First of all you cannot include a yacht that has not been built. That is just stupid. IF the IACC survives there is no way of knowing which boat gets a particular number. What about GER101, GBR101, POL101? Btw, ACM has nothing to do with the sail numbers.

  • McAlpine and the measurment committee issue the number. Col Puck
  • Exactly, it has to do with durability!--My help is needed 22:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Here are a few other suggestions: I am sure LeDefi became China just before Act4, not 2. [LeDefi competed in Acts 1-3. China team was accepted as a challenger in may 2005, just a few days ahead of Act 4.]

  • Look at the results for acts, China came in at act 2.

FRA/CHN69 is no more. The deck and equipment was used for CHN95. Only the hull has to be built in the country of origin, not the deck or other equipment.

USA51 was berought along with the rest of the OneWorld stuff to Desafio. They had it outside their base until it was replaced there by ESP67.

USA87, NZL84, ESP88, ITA86 and ITA90 were all used for Act12, ESP67 was used for Acts 4-7 and ESP65 for Acts 10-11, ITA59 competed in Act4-12, CHN 79 was used for Acts 10-12, SUI75 won just about all the Acts...

The team behind SWE19 was SACC (Swedish AC Chall) The name of the yacht was Tre Kronor.

[edit] RSA-101

RSA-101 is going to need a cite, ACM has not released if sail number 101 has been assigned.

  • 101 has not yet been released, hence entry is deleted. Boatman 08:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • 101 was released by the McAlpine this morning.
  • Data for 101 has been updated Boatman 12:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FRA-69

China Team websites states that CHN-69 is a rebuilt FRA-69. CHN-95 is a brand boat built in China, otherwise China Team would contravene one of the America's Cup rules which states that a challenger's boat must be built in the country of the challenger. Boatman 07:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I must have been watching the AC coverage when they said that the deck and gear from FRA-69 was used in CHN-95, and that contributed to the withdrawl in several races during RR-1. I can't find an article for it, when I do I will link it.

you're right the hull was built in china in cooperation with with Austrailian parters, but that doesn't they didn't scavenge for parts from CHN-69.

[edit] Le defi/le defi areva

In 2002, the french team was Le Defi Areva. during the the AC in 2002 K-challenge was announced and established itself as a French team. After LV cup act 1, Le defi split from Areva becoming China Team for Act two forward. Areva absorbed K-challenge and became Areva.
