The CITIZEN CUP 1992
The U.S. A. were the official defender of the

Yacht Club, competed for the defence, a Defender
Selection Series had to be organized to determine
the Defender of the AC.
The event got its name from the Japanese watch
maker and sponsor CITIZEN
The yachts sailed 4 Round Robins (RR1-RR4 where points were collected) and the Final.
RR 1: USA-11 against Jayhawk and Defiant , RR 2: USA-11 versus Defiant and America3.
