Then, Haney recalls, a light bulb went on over his head: "Why don't we invent a game?" Less than an hour later they had designed the basic structure.

The exact dimensions of the keel were well known to the International Yacht Racing Union's Measurement Committee, which had formally examined Australia II for conformity to the complicated 12-meter standards well before the racing began...
