Billion Dollar Challenge Written and narrated by Ian Wooldridge
The America's Cup used to be the preserve of eccentric millionaires. But when
Australia took the cup in 1983 all that changed. Today, the paid crew-gladiators, the sponsors, the hi-technicians, and the media agents have come aboard.
Tonight's film follows teams from six nations - only one of which will win through to be the final challenger. Film editor DAVID THOMAS Producer BOB SAUNDERS
