America's Cup, powered by Rolex!

[Remco]

I got myself a nice old booklet of the America's Cup (1970), with an add of 'my' red sub. The booklet (48 pages) provides background information and reference material on the America's Cup until 1970, such as the strategy and the location of the race course. It's full of nice old pictures of the yachts and skippers :gut:.

By the way: Here is Dennis Connor, one of the famous winners of the AC in the seventies and eighties, at the Voiles de St Tropez in 2006, preparing "lunch" before starting up with his "Cotton Blossom" the regatta. Don't know or didn't see his watch, I guess a Timex. ;)
