After his successes as skipper 1987 (Kiwi Magic) and 1992 (Nippon Challenge) Chris Dickson decided to form his own team. With his yacht, drawn by Bruce Farr and built by the renowned Cookson Boats he had a dangerous candidate for the LVC. Through its modest budget, he could not finance a second yacht resp. crew for internal comparisons and tests. Under these conditions, many had him credited a LVC victory . A great financial help brought the Sport Watches producer TAG HEUER. Dickson wanted to call his yacht TAG HEUER, but that was not permitted by the LVC Committee. Thus, it was called only NZL- 39. He again proved his quality as a skipper and steered the NZL 39 into the semifinals of the LVC.
