Three legends of America's Cup sailing - George 'Fritz' Jewett Jr. (San Francisco, Calif.), Alan Payne (1921-1995, Australia), and Jack Sutphen (San Diego, Calif.) were inducted into the America's Cup Hall of Fame.
Each of the 2005 inductees played a crucial role in America's Cup campaigns during much of the modern era of the Cup, respectfully as syndicate head, designer, and sailor. They were honored on the occasion of the Rolex America's Cup Hall of Fame 13th Annual Induction Ceremony held Friday, October 14, 2005. The black-tie dinner, sponsored by longtime supporter Rolex Watch U.S.A., was held at the St. Francis Yacht Club, San Francisco, CA.
Presiding over the Induction Ceremony was Halsey C. Herreshoff, President of the America's Cup Hall of Fame.
