Bill Koch, head of the America3 defense syndicate, said he will have a fourth sloop built for the America’s Cup defender trials.

America3 will enter two yachts in each round of the trials, which begin Tuesday off San Diego. Jayhawk and Defiant, launched last year, will be used in the first series of round-robin races.

A third boat is expected to arrive this month and will be used in the second round-robin. The fourth boat is expected in March, in time for the fourth round.
