After winning the Defender Series, America{{Sup|3}} defeated the Italian challenger Il Moro di Venezia to successfully defend the Cup. The yacht, named America³, was built by Goetz Custom Sailboats Inc. in Rhode Island and the carbon fiber mast package was built by the Offshore Spars Co. in Michigan. 1995 Cup defenseIn 1995, Bill Koch revamped the program to begin the first nearly all-female, America's Cup boat. America{{Sup|3}}'s successor, Mighty Mary, was on her way to the 1995 America's Cup, in the lead of the last race of the Defender Series over Stars & Stripes. But with a commanding lead of nearly 5 minutes, Dave Dellenbaugh (the only man on the otherwise all-female crew) committed a crucial tactical error and Stars & Stripes skipper Dennis Conner made a series of moves to beat Mighty Mary to the finish line by scant seconds. After winning the Defender Series, Conner opted to use the third syndicate that year, Young America, to defend the cup, losing to Team New Zealand, 5-0. {{America'sCup}}{{coord|41.663255|N|71.27261|W|display=title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:America}} 3 : America's Cup teams|International America's Cup Class|America's Cup defenders |
