AdmiralBangBang 1 #1 Posted January 22, 2018 For a history documentary competition I am examining the 1988 America's Cup challenge. However, I was only able to find one short video on YouTube about the race, and that footage repeats itself many times. Any quality footage of the race dug up would be useful. Info is helpful too.

hoom 315 #5 Posted January 24, 2018 I also have both races, no ads I think. Back during the cup someone was going to put up torrents, if they were same files I was gonna help out with seeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoom 315 #7 Posted January 24, 2018 So I had a bit of a go at uploading to a filesharing site, was gonna take 72hrs maxing out my poor upload speed & screwing up the connection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdmiralBangBang 1 #8 Posted January 24, 2018 HNN, I'd want around 30 minutes worth or race footage, you can cut ads out. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdmiralBangBang 1 #11 Posted January 24, 2018 I need them probably by the beginning of February, latest will prob be the 15th or 16th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not enough time to edit the ads out, just raw copying them onto disc. Each one is 3-hours plus, that is a lot of ad time. Maybe I'll edit out some of the boring middle parts, that is easy, get the starts, some middle, then the finish. Race 2 is the best, the Kiwis mix it up a little and even get the lead, then when S&S round the weather mark you get a glimpse of how fast it could potentially go, it really lights up for a moment.

Probably could have just trimmed the wing properly & accelerated out of it in a few secs if they wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like he did on the eventual cross he made, raising the windward hull for a few secs and then setting it right back down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoom 315 #15 Posted January 26, 2018 Something like that yeah. Would have been nice to actually see that beast put in a proper race performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nav 179 #18 Posted January 27, 2018 Any footage of the wimpy non-decision by the court: "Ohhhh, this is tricky, what say you go race, against all AC precedents, while we think about it" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
