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
