LONG BEACH, Calif.---Great Britain's Ben Ainslie, honored with an unprecedented third Rolex World Sailor of the Year award following his third consecutive Olympic gold medal in 2008, has joined the impressive lineup in the 45th Congressional Cup, the March 24-28 match racing classic hosted by the Long Beach Yacht Club. Ainslie, 32, is now skipper/helmsman of the UK's Team Origin challenge for the 33rd America's Cup, a significant switch for a sailor whose Olympic success has been in singlehanded boats: a silver medal in 1996 and gold in 2000 in Lasers and golds in 2004 and 2008 in Finns. The Congressional Cup has maintained a high level of organization over the years with a volunteer force of some 300 club members and their families. Each crew will be assigned boat hostesses and a housing team to deliver the outstanding local hospitality the Congressional Cup has offered now for 45 years.  More Information Official Congressional Cup website Long Beach Yacht Club 562.598.9401 www.lbyc.org Chairman David Stotler This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
