ESPN Classic – America’s Cup 1851-2007 On TV Tomorrow. Don’t Miss it

I was fortunate enough to attend a preview of this introduced by Gary Jobson last night. It’s a great show and an excellent history of the Cup.

Gary Jobson did the interviews with Walter Conkite narrating, John Rousmaniere wrote it. There are some wonderful interviews with Olin Stephens, Ted Turner, Dennis Connor, Russell Coutts, Larry Ellison and many more. Some beautiful shots of various AC yachts including the jubilee at Cowes in 2001. Spectacular overhead shots of J-Boats on the Solent.

I am starting to become an AC fan.
