'Untold: The Race of the Century' revisits end of 132-year American sailing streak
The USA lost the 1983 America's Cup to Australia. Netflix's Untold documentary series: The Race of the Century is about the event. It's 1 hour, 23 minutes long. It takes a while to get up to speed. The documentary is enjoyable once it starts to focus on the details. John Bertrand and Dennis Conner are septuagenarians now. They still remember the race very well. Their team did things differently. Ben Lexcen, the boat architect, designed the Australia II. He also used psychological testing and visualization. This was not common practice in sports in 1983.
