And sorry Mark, what is the problem with an AC fought out with 110 cats?

Hmmmm, choice, slow lead mines or super large super fast versions of the Extreme 40?

Hmmmm!

The GGYC (Oracle) have brought a court action in New York, arguing that CNEV (Desafio) is not a valid challenge and hence cannot be the Challeger of Record(CoR).

Oracle have also challenged the SNG (Alinghi), and therefore argue that they should be the CoR. If the judge finds in favour of them, they may become the CoR. They then have to agree to the format with Alinghi.
If they can't agree then the Deed of Gift of the Cup governs the rules for the challenge. Oracle have said in their challenge that their boat would be 90feet length, 90 feet breadth, and possibly 4 feet depth? Otherwise the design would be free.
This would make it a tri.

Alinghi get to decide the venue and the time of day, but the date is set by the DoG.

The judge will make his decision soon.

www.sailinganarchy.com has a lot of info in the forums. Also a lot of rubbish spouted. Probably best to use the search, rather than ask a question like this, as it has been answered before and most of your answers would be abuse from the trolls.
