For those of you who might be interested, there are now two monster
multihulls getting ready to stage their titanic duke-out for the America's
Cup Trophy. Maybe you've already seen the remarkable trimaran of BMW/Oracle
that is berthed in San Diego. http://yachtpals.com/trimaran-3040 (about one

Well, the boys in Switzerland have just introduced their own boat in answer
to the Challenge put forward by Larry Ellison's team at BMWO.

You can read a short entry regarding the new boat here:

You can see some wonderfully composed construction photos of the big Swiss
cat here: http://www.bymnews.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=246

Keep in mind that the two opposing players in this game of egos are Larry
Ellison and Ernesto Bertarelli, both billionaires many times over. For these
dudes and their hunger, the sky is the limit and some have said that there
is still no guarantee that these will be the two boats being brought to the
start line.
