COME WATCH THE RACING WITH US!
The Ocean Eagle’s involvement with the Cup Challenge has been a long and colourful one!
Formerly the American Eagle, she was the San Diego Yacht Club’s committee boat in 1988 during the Big Boat Challenge and was later purchased by billionaire Bill Koch. He also owned the yacht ‘America 3’ which defeated the Italian team four races to one in the 1992 challenge. The Eagle was used as his personal chase boat.
She was involved in the 1995 challenge when Koch financed another team sailing ‘Mighty Mary’ to compete for the Cup. The Eagle was again Koch’s personal chase boat.
After New Zealand won the Cup in 1995, the Ocean Eagle was purchased from Koch and shipped here to New Zealand.
She was Team New Zealand’s hospitality boat in 2000 and again in 2003.
So what are we saying? You’re in good hands when you come watch the racing with us!
