Untold: The Race Of The Century

[MoeFOH]

Apols if this has popped up on here before, but I watched this doco last night on the 1983 America's Cup... Fantastic stuff!... Ok, let's be honest, probably only one for the Aussies here to enjoy , but seriously a great little nugget of sporting history... amazing flashback to a... um... unique period, shall we say... and a great yarn around the history of the cup, the enigmatic Ben Lexcen, the New York Yacht Club, Conner & Bertrand, Bob Hawke, etc etc... 

One of the better chuckles... the t-shirts... "F#!k the NY Yacht Club" 

(American viewers can take solace in the fact that you came back next time and kicked our arse! )

This was a fun time in our country's history, that's for sure!

I remember hearing about this back then...in a Jimmy Buffett song
