The Race of the Century
The exciting events of the 1983 America’s Cup, as told in “The Race of the Century,” are a classic example of a story of winning and losing. It’s about a group of Australians forming a team to defeat the New York Yacht Club in the world’s most prestigious sailing race and end the longest winning streak in history (132 years!). In interviews, key members of the US and Australian teams that participated in the 1983 America’s Cup recounted their experiences in the tournament won by Australia.
