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.
