“HOW WE WON THE AMERICA'S CUP”
The achievement of the Australian team in winning the America's Cup in 1983 was one of the most remarkable feats in Australian sporting history. Australia challenged with their best prepared syndicate ever, AUSTRALIA II, owned and built by a syndicate of Western Australians headed by businessman Alan Bond. The designer of Australia II, Ben Lexcen, had conceived a winged keel that under secret testing in the Netherlands had out-performed conventional keels. The yacht was built in WA by boat builder Steve Ward. Lexcen's winged keel was at the centre of much controversy. Upon arrival in Newport, the keel was hidden from view with tarpaulin 'modesty skirts'.The design was protested by the Americans, but ultimately the "off-water" psychological battle was won by the Aussies and they were given the all-clear to race.
