According to the TOPH, the capital-intensive sport of crew is “The Sport of Preps”. However, polo, with its claim on the most prep of all shirts, the polo, and a second, the OCBD, can’t be far behind.
The pics from past Cup events are very nice. Looks like a fun time for both sides!!!
Even the TOPH comes up short now and then. If you don’t make it onto an America’s Cup crew, races like the TransPac or SORC racing are plenty Ivy and capital intensive.
