| | CPD: Caribbean Islands overview |
 | | This history is similar to those of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, which have comparable islands derived from fragmented continents, ancient or active volcanoes, or living coral. | | | This ratio does not imply uniformity of dispersal nor size; on the contrary the locations, groupings and areas of the islands are very uneven. | | | Jurassic rocks have been identified in Cuba suggesting continental relationships and there are geological links between that island and Yucatán. |

| | Team Co-Founder, Peter Holmberg mentions, "when we announced our challenge more than two years ago, we shocked the Virgin Islands community and the sailing world by daring to believe that such a tiny nation could unite behind such an ambitious endeavor. | | | With our new association with Dennis Conner, we believe we have succeeded in carrying out many of those original goals." | | | The new association with Team Dennis Conner will translate into significant benefits for the Foundation's America's Cup effort, including the signing of Peter Holmberg as a key member of Dennis Conner's sailing team. |
