As a result of the preliminary cup defense trials,
the observation ones and the cruise racing, there is little to choose between
Yankee and Rainbow when it comes to figuring contests won. Eliminating Vanitie,
and getting down to the boat-for-boat results between the defense yachts, Yankee
has come out ahead twelve times, Rainbow ten and Weetamoe three. Autorisation en cours |
