Bermuda is host to the America's Cup
Bermuda is host to the America's Cup
Much earlier in 2014, when Bermuda was mooted as one of four venues for
the 2017 America’s Cup, there can’t have been many neutral observers who
seriously believed that this little island, more than 600 miles off the
Atlantic coast of the US, would beat Chicago, San Diego and Newport,
Rhode Island, to the punch in a Cup that is being defended by the US
team. With so many viable ports on the mainland US to host the America’s
Cup, why go offshore?
