The America's Cup Hall of Fame Enigma

stephen lirakis and gerry driscoll 1979

 I am pursuing a thread I started concerning inductees of the America's Cup Hall of Fame. Why isn't this man (Gerry Driscoll) already in the Hall? He never defended the Cup, but his contributions are evident, starting in 1964 through 1979.
    Additionally, the four young inductees on Saturday night were part of the tight 5. I am certain they were deserving, however the crew of "Intrepid" in 1974 made such a strong and profound contribution to the defense of the Cup, sailing a slower boat above it's ability, against all odds. They merit acknowledgment.
