Planet Perth: Australia II and the 1983 America’s Cup

Off the coast of Rhode Island on the 26th of September 1983 Australia II crossed the finish line to win the America’s Cup.

It was a win that captivated the nation, breaking the United State’s 132 year winning streak and galvanising the nation.

Jeff Bullen celebrates this iconic moment in Perth’s history, sitting down with 1983 team manager and port grinder John Longley to chat about the long road to the 1983 America’s Cup victory and what it was like to make history…

Join Jeff Bullen for a deep dive into the weird, wacky and unexplained history of our eccentric city on Planet Perth.

From cults, to abandoned theme parks and tank rampages across the CBD, Planet Perth is your guide to the events, personalities and bygone icons that have shaped one of the most isolated cities in the world.
