The Officials Introduction PART 1 - Officials - Alphabetical by NAME 1851-2024
This Section of Compendium organizes the known official(s) for each America's Cup defense year. The Officials Part 1 section lists the individuals by last name, proper first name, middle name or initial (if known), by role, and association, enabling a researcher to easily see the progression of the Official from regatta to regatta. PART 2 - Officials - by YEAR 1851-2024
This Section of Compendium organizes the known officials(s) for each America's Cup defense. The Officials Part 2 section lists the regattas by YEAR and the individuals by last name, proper first name, middle name or initial (if known), their role, and their association.
In addition to "The Officials" Compendium also includes Sections on "The Crews," "The Owners," "The Designers," and "The Builders." Editor's Note: Every effort was taken to assure accuracy in the listing of America's Cup designers. Because the underlying data is from historical records, from time-to-time errors were found - often when there are several generations of sailors with similar names (i.e. Jr., II, III, Sr., etc.) and the occasional spelling of a name. Feel free to help to improve this important historical record by sending any known omissions or errors to us.
