Synopsis: At 5.20pm on 26 September 1983 a new chapter was written in the long history of the America's Cup. Australia II , the winged-keeled yacht representing The Royal Perth Yacht Club in Western Australia, became the first of the 25 foreign challengers in the 132 year history of the cup to wrest the trophy from the grasp of the New York Yacht Club. The America's Cup is the oldest international sporting trophy in the world. It predates test cricket, any football code or golf match, and the rules of tennis had not even been settled when the battle for the America's Cup started.
