Oracle

Well finally Oracle is back on the water with the 72 and a new wing. Let's hope this one stays on. I am sure my brother will call me when he sees this monster out on the bay, zipping along and being chased by a small group of support boats. Though these boat are technically advanced, the AC has really gone down hill in it's position in the sailing world. The Vendee Globe and Rolex races are where it's at, those are real hard competitive races that pit crews and skippers against one another, not the how much technology can I buy with my money. Even though the AC is not what it should be, seeing these boats is something. Of course I would love to see Il Hydroptere compete...
