Australia II wins the Americas Cup 1983 #3(3)

That is the best Australian sporting moment I have witnessed. Watched that last race on TV from the start and it was like a fairy tale the way it panned out. I will never forget it!

26th September 1983, a day in my life, I will never ever forget ,a very proud day to be Australian. NYC & Conner tried every trick in the book in this series.

I totally agree with Rudy, I was what, only 22 at the time, and it was awesome. The best Aussie sports victory in the 20th Century with out a doubt. Sad that the youngsters don't know about it.

Epic!

From memory we were losing 3 nil ( Australia) . I think Warren Jones said at that point that Australia was in the same position as at the beginning of the races. He was so right & they won the next four races.

No, Australia II actually won the third race. But they were down 1-3 since Liberty won the 4th race. Then the aussies rallied three wins in a row. 🙂

@@lennartflygare9177 Yes I was wrong there. I knew they had to win 3 races.
