Stars & Stripes / USA-11 and the Citizen Cup 1992:
From mid January to late April 1992 the US-11
sailed in 53 (!) days of racing in the CITIZEN
CUP against the 4 yachts flotilla of Bill Koch, to
clarify who defends the America's Cup officially.
Conner's USA-11 lost finally against USA-23.
The irony is that Dennis Conner, who lost the
AC in 1983 but conquered it back in 1987 -
and defended it with success in 1988 – had to
cede the defence for 1992 to Bill Koch.
