The Americas Cup differs from other international races for being more than a mere sports competition. It has the spirit of a duel: the response to a challenge. Queen Victoria said 'There will be no second' during the celebration of the first race in 1851. Nowadays, the race has become a technological competition, a symbol of excellence.
