America's Cup 2010 - Don't hate me, it's about blow-boats

Looks like the fat lady is singing for Alingi. I hope they stay with the ultra-tech boats for the next challange as they make for a much better race than the monos. I'm really impressed with how smooth they ran, no pitching at all.

Well Done BMW/Oracle

That's crazy. It's basically high speed, planed off Hobie Cat racing.

Used to run Hobies when I lived out in Portland. Had a 14 with a 16 mast and both sails. Crazy killer sailboat by yourself. (Don't tell anyone though).....
 
Alinghi cross the finish line 5 minutes and 26 seconds after USA. The Swiss team were 24 seconds behind off the start line, 28 seconds behind at WW 1 mark, 2mins 44 secs behind at the gybe mark, Mark 2.

Confirmed then, no protest, so BMW ORACLE Racing win the 33rd America's Cup match for the USA. A fantastic finale to this historic match.

how would you like to have the technolgy those guys are using to do a powerboat project?

Exactly. THAT is inoovation. Not adding another step to the 4 you have or painting a car company name on the side of a 12 year old design. I bet they could make some amazing advances
