iShares Cup gets 10th entry from Oman
Alinghi and BMWOracle cat fight is good news for catsailing circuits like iShares and its VX 40s.
Having some of the best sailors in the world like Russell Coutts training or Ed Baird racing these powerfull cats attracts spectators, fans and money for those catamaran events like iShares (Ex Volvo Extreme 40).

I think Paul Cayard and Russell are quite happy with the future of their WSL on 70′ cats..

This brand new Extreme 40 team is backed by the Sultanate of Oman as part of a larger project to promote the country as a world-class sailing destination. The crew will begin the series made up of international pro sailors, but with an increasing presence of Omani nationals as the campaign progresses.
