First America's cup

[edit]

This page says that there were 8 cutters and 7 schooners in the first America's cup, but on the document about the first America's cup it says that there were 8 cutters and 9 schooners in the race. Can someone please clarify this? Thanks, Kaizo block (talk) 16:48, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealanders

[edit]

"Alinghi alone had 4 New Zealanders as crew"

I thought it was 6, Coutts inclusive.
There were 8 in total on the team, not sure about the actual crew. Dramatic 01:44 13 March 2003 (UTC)

Dennis Conner’s Record

[edit]

I don’t understand how Conner’s win-loss record is given as 13-5 when he lost 4 races in 1983 and 5 in 1995. Shouldn’t it be 13-9? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.236.247 (talk) 15:34, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move history to its own page

[edit]

I suggest to move the history section to its own page, as it is very long and only leave a brief summary in this page (comparable to the history section on this page: 38th America's Cup). This allows to focus the Americas Cup page more on general information and summary's that are more relevant to most users. Additionally, this allows to shorten and focus the pages for the Americas Cup editions, which are full of unnecessary general Americas Cup information that should be on this page.

If no one disagrees I would implement this change in the coming weeks. V.Glas (talk) 12:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Ireland

[edit]

Asking this here as well as at List of America's Cup challengers and defenders

The "Shamrock" entrants are designated to Northern Ireland. That entity didn't technically exist in the relevant years so are we absolutely certain that it's accurate to use that label? doktorb wordsdeeds 03:23, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike the List article, this one already shows all English/Scottish/Irish clubs as "United Kingdom", which is historically accurate. - Davidships (talk) 02:15, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
