Or at least were not ruled totally out in court yesterday….
Nevertheless this is going to be a match to remember, specially for multihull sailors.
I like the two 90′ beasts, and Oracle proposed multihulls 1st, but Alinghi 5 is an amazing machine, I had the opportunity at Valle de Bravo, Mexico a few years ago while living there, to ride Stars&Stripes (hard wing) that was there and it was possible to rent her and we talked with a group of sailors! but finally we didn´t and I went back to Argentina in 2005, I´m regreting not sailing her right now more than ever…
I´ve got some pics, will search them later.
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
