1985-87

1987 America’s Cup

We had traveled to Perth, Western Australia, for the quarter finals of the races.

The series was held in Gage Roads off Fremantle, Western Australia, during the Australian summer months between October 1986 and February 1987. The Royal Perth Yacht Club was the defending club and the organizer of the defense series. This was the last time that 12-meter class yachts were used in the America's Cup and the first time for 132 years that it had not been defended by the New York Yacht Club.

Superb shot! The yachts are scudding across that rough looking sea and your photo gives a great sense of the day, it is almost possible to 'feel' the waves and wind. VV
