AUSTRALIA II 30TH REUNION AT THE RMYC BROKEN BAY - FRIDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2013
After 30 years the memories flooded back as nine of the Australia II crew, relived the highs and lows of their historic Americas Cup campaign in front of the 220 enthusiastic guests hosted by the Royal Motor Yacht Club at Newport.
"Where were you when we won the Cup?" This was the most common topic of conversation of the night, and how great it was to witness the greatest comeback in Sporting history, and the fact that little Australia took on the might of America and won!
Local Australia II legends, Hugh Treharne, Col Beashel, Phil Smidmore and Rob Brown were onboard for the night and joined by fellow crew members Brian Richardson and Peter Costello. To top off the night, Olympic Coach Mike Fletcher and Ken Beashel (father of Colin) added their special version of events as technical coaching advices and the important area of boat maintenance.
