   One thing this serise does seem to of shown is that the top teams, TNZ, Alinghi, Oracle, Origin and the 2 Italian teams are all pretty much on the same level in the same boats.
Just showns how much a designer can influence the results in the cup.

	This is a better event than the americas cup, more teams involved, more racing - less politics!

	I agree - I've enjoyed reading the press reports and following the results. The 'borrowed boats' idea is excellent and makes it less of a cheque-book event. This is how the America's Cup should be run. Good to see TEAMORIGIN putting in a good show.
