I wonder what it will say, or more specifically how it will dress up Oracle doing what EVERY defender in AC history has done, and stack the deck in their favour. That said, its part of what makes winning the cup all the more special, winning a game against a stacked pack.

Not sure the Australians did, which probably explains why they are the only country not to have managed a successful defence... |

The Hula concept on TNZs 2003 defenders wasn't exactly stacking the deck in their favour either. There is a press conference on 13th September to anounce the details. Live from Valencia @ 13:00 CET on the web.

Boats that will allow sailing technology to be pushed resulting in speed, rather than immense forestay load and creaking boats

It doesnt matter what they sail it in it will always be boring.
The whole point is that the AC is a technical battle. Its only the recent ACs that have turned it into proper match racing. I say go for it. |

Looking forward to some amazing technical designs and stunning boats. Expecting an absolute snore-fest in terms of racing.

Very different reactions from ETNZ & Origin. Dalton says they're going for it. Simmer & Mills are thinking about it. I have a feeling Mills will pull the plug.
