38th America's Cup

The Royal Yacht Squadron has confirmed that it lodged a Notice of Challenge for the America's Cup, and the Cowes based club will be the Challenger of Record for the 38th Match.

"We've put in another challenge for the 38th America's Cup, and that challenge has been accepted by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron," said Bertie Bicket, a Director of Royal Yacht Squadron Ltd, after RNZYS had successfully conducted its Defence of the 173 year old trophy.

The Challenge was made as soon as the RNZYS Defender Taihoro crossed the finish line to win its seventh race in the best of 13 race series, off Barcelona on Saturday afternoon.

Yacht squadron?

I thought a squadron was a naval formation.

To the uninitiated it sounds like "Hugo Boss platoon ".

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The airforce might have something to say about that. ✈✈✈
@KiwiBird The airforce borrowed the term squadron from the Navy and some ranks like Commodore.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Of course....I certainly didn't think that out.
Thanks
