The Admiral's Cup is an international yachting regatta. For many years it was known as the unofficial world championship of offshore racing.〔(Independent Newspaper, England, 2003 )〕〔(BBC news on 2001 event )〕 The Admiral's Cup regatta was started in 1957 and was normally a biennial event (occurring in odd-numbered years) which was competed for between national teams. However the event was not staged in 2001 and was last held in 2003. It was cancelled at short notice in 2005. The 2003 event did not follow the normal format and allowed entries from any yacht club affiliated to a national authority, thus allowing the possibility of several teams per country. The regatta was based at Cowes on the Isle of Wight off southern England and was organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club. ==History: 1957 - 1999== From 1957 to 1999 the cup was competed for between national teams, each having three boats. Initially only Great Britain and the United States took part but, in later years, many other teams also participated. The Fastnet race was part of the Admiral's Cup during this time. In 1971 the British Prime Minister, Edward Heath, captained one of the winning boats. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Admiral's Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
