Is it really that simple? Steve Clark says the genesis of the "Little America's Cup" was a challenge between the England and the U.S. to see who had the best catamarans. But is anybody still around who remembers the exact words? Was it to determine the best catamarans or to determine the best catamaran sailors?

If somebody has the answer to that question, it would establish the intent behind the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy.

Interesting question.
