The boat that will defend the 113-year-old America's Cup against Britain's Sovereign or Kurrewa V will not be picked until after the final trials off Newport in August. But in the meantime, American Eagle was doing a pretty good job of "selecting" herself.

At one point his determination might have led to disaster. Eager to keep a speaking date at a high school in Newport, he took his plane into a dangerous fogbound landing.
