| [00:00.00] | So ferocious were the celebrations following Australia's victory |
| [00:02.96] | in the 1983 America's Cup |
| [00:04.74] | that the then Prime Minister Bob Hawke said |
| [00:07.03] | bosses who sacked workers for not turning up to work were bums. |
| [00:10.24] | It's seen as one of the country's greatest sporting triumphs, |
| [00:13.55] | but now a Dutch naval architect has come forward |
| [00:16.50] | claiming that he designed the famous winged keel |
| [00:19.20] | that helped propel Australia II to victory. |
| [00:22.19] | Peter Van Oossanen said he had grown tired |
| [00:24.74] | of the Dutch design team being airbrushed out of history |
| [00:27.59] | and that the record should be corrected. |
| [00:29.63] | But the businessman Alan Bond, |
| [00:31.76] | who bankrolled the boat, |
| [00:32.83] | said the winged keel was 100 per cent Australian |
| [00:35.93] | and that any other suggestion was codswallop. |
