Ummm, Jess.... There hasn't been a 12 meter built or raced in the Cup since 1987.

Not only that, but when they raced in Newport, they were so far out that you couldnt see them from shore. What you got to see was them being towed in and out by the support boats.

You had to watch the boat races from a boat. Not very difficult to pick up a ride. But you didn't need a boat to watch all the hot babes the races brought to town! |

You can sail on a 12 any day you want in NPT,even pretend you are a hand in a simulated race.Some of those boats go to Saint Maarten for the winter for the same purpose. |

Well that explains why I can't find the 4th one.
I'll look for the other 2 this week at lunch, I love cruising through to no think about something IT related for about 20 min and the drive back and forth along Burma Road is relaxing to |
