What will happen after the races? If New Zealand wins, the Cup will go to the Mercury Bay Boating Club near Auckland, where Fay insists he will seriously consider every challenger and race every ten months if necessary. If Stars & Stripes prevails, Fay will most likely go back to court, charging that the catamaran was illegal under the deed. If Justice Ciparick agrees, Conner will be disqualified. If not, San Diego will play host to a saltwater hoedown in '91. In any event, one thing remains clear: this is no Cup of kindness.
