Following the Defender Finals in 1992, the San Diego Yacht Club, which had been favoring it's home town son Dennis Conners, made an attempt at a "show of support" when it offered to finance the composition and recording of an America3 team "fight song". In the end the club's financial support for the project evaporated but the song was eventually composed and recored (thanks to the efforts of David Dick, SDYC member, local attorney and legal counsel to America3, and Rick Wrightson, America3 Vice President and SDYC member). It is titledAmerica3, America Sails With You. The song proved to be an inspiration to the entire America3 team as it sailed on to victory.
Printed below are the lyrics for the song. You can also download the recorded song for your listening enjoyment. There are three download formats available: WAV for PC users; AIFF for Mac users; and MP3 for any user with an MP3 player.
America3, America Sails With You
America, America, Godspeed, fair winds to you
We salute, America, the America cubed
Some dare, some only dream, some talk, some build a team
Sometimes the spirit, won't be denied
Your date with destiny, Will soon be history
Cubens, keep America's Cup
America cubed as you sail the ocean
America cubed as you conquer the blue
Keep the cup, of all of America
America cubed, America sails with you
Teamwork, technology, talent, that's the trilogy
That makes America tops in the world
Sail on write the story, Cubens bound for glory
Heroes that keep the cup her at home
America cubed as you sail the ocean
America cubed as you conquer the blue
Keep the cup, for all of America
America cubed, America sails with you
America cubed, America sails with you
America cubed, America says thank you.
