| COLUMBIA (USA) def SCEPTRE (GBR) 4/0 |
 |
The British had hoped to have an edge by sailing 12-meter sailboats, which were raced actively in Britain, but not in the U.S.

However, designer Olin Stephens was no stranger to the class, having designed what was arguably the fastest 12-meter in the world, Vim. His Columbia proved even faster in the summer trials, and in four races never trailed Hugh Goodson's Sceptre.

The British were back in 1964, but the David Boyd-designed Sovereign was completely out-classed by Constellation, which was designed by Olin Stephens and skippered by Bob Bavier.

The closest Sovereign came was in the first race, losing by five and half minutes.

Considered by many to be the greatest 12-meter ever built, the Olin Stephens-designed Intrepid took on Australia's Dame Pattie.

With the exception of a brief moment in the second race, however, the determined crew from the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron could only watch Intrepid's stern as Bus Mosbacher sailed her to his second successful Cup defense.

| INTREPID (USA) def GRETEL II (AUS) 4/1 |
 |
The beginning of the multiple challenges (Greece and Great Britain dropped out), and Australian newspaper magnate Frank Packer had to dispose of Baron Marcel Bich of France before engaging the previous winner, Intrepid.

Gretel II, a new design from Alan Payne, was the most competitive challenger yet, but good crew work aboard Intrepid and winning a controversial protest in the second race ensured yet another American victory.

Packer did not go quietly, however, and his accusations of cheating against the NYYC—the door to Intrepid's head had been removed, fairings were installed near Intrepid's rudder, and Gretel II's disqualification in Race 2 -- errupted in a war of words that initiated correspondence between the Australian consulate and the U.S. State Department.

Nonetheless, finishing first in two races on the water made the Aussies more determined than ever to continue in their pursuit of the America's Cup.

 |
It was only fitting that when the NYYC finally lost the Cup, it was the most closely fought match in the event’s history, and it went down to the final race.

Alan Bond’s years of effort finally paid off, and he took the Victorian-era trophy, claimed by the upstart American’s 132 years earlier, to a new home at Royal Perth Yacht Club in Perth, Western Australia.

Dennis Conner and Liberty won the first two races, John Bertrand and Australia II the third. The Americans recovered in the fourth, but knew they were in trouble in light air. The two-race American lead faded to a 3-3 tie by the end of the sixth race.

And by the end of the seventh race, the Cup was in Australian hands, the boys from Down Under finishing 41 seconds ahead of Liberty and terminating the longest winning streak in the history of sport.

| STARS & STRIPES (USA) def NEW ZEALAND (NZL) 2/0 |
 |
The 27th defense is the most contentious chapter in an event chronicled in controversy, and considered by many to be the low point in the history of the America’s Cup.

New Zealander Michael Fay issued a renegade challenge, specifying a sailboat double the size of a 12-meter, and demanding the race be held within the 10 months specified in the Deed of Gift. When SDYC officials declared the challenge invalid, Fay took them to court and won the first round.

The SDYC responded by building a 60-foot wing-sailed catamaran as the defender against Fay’s 133-foot "Big Boat." It was a laugher on the water, as Conner’s Stars & Stripes easily defeated New Zealand, 2-0.

But things were deadly serious on shore, as the lawyers picked
up where the sailors left off. Ranting "Read the Deed," Fay returned to the
New York Supreme Court, trustee of the America’s Cup Deed of Gift, where he
asked that SDYC’s victory be overturned. Judge Carmen Ciparick granted his request.

Not giving up without a fight, SDYC appealed the ruling to the New York Court of Appeals, and on April 26, 1990, SDYC was finally declared the winner of the match held more than a year and half earlier.
