America’s Cup Media: One month ahead of the first race of the 2006 Valencia Louis Vuitton Acts, the history of the America's Cup comes to life on www.americascup.com. A new feature has been added to the website, the Circling Galaxy, which is a graphic relational database featuring stories on the people, events and boats that make the America's Cup the singular event that it is. A collection of stories by renowned Cup historian Jacques Taglang along with photos and sketches of people and boats, the Circling Galaxy is a fun way to enter into the rich history of the oldest sporting trophy in the world. The Circling Galaxy is a work in progress, with 128 personalities profiled, along with the stories behind 136 boats which were built to compete for the America's Cup. More of each will be added as time goes by so that this becomes the most complete online archive of America's Cup history. The Circling Galaxy is currently online in English and French, with other language editions to be added in the future. America's Cup racing begins this season with the Louis Vuitton Acts 10 and 11 from the 11th to 21st of May. |
