Sorry Ernesto.

You lose!

Justice Herman Cahn has ruled in favor of the Golden Gate Yacht Club
in their challenge to the legitimacy of the Challenger of Record,
Club Nautico Espanol de Vela.

“We are very pleased by the decision as it enables everyone to focus on getting the
Cup back on track quickly,” said Russell Coutts, CEO of the club’s
BMW ORACLE Racing team.



What does it mean Joe?
There's going to be a race.

How about we put both Larry and Ernesto in Lasers.
Wouldn't that be a sight to see?

What Happnes When You Have A Big Sailboat And No Wind?

You get tow from a giant zodiac.
Ah the fond memories of towing my students back and forth across
Richardson Bay in search of wind.

¿Dónde está el viento?
(From The Independent) One day of racing does not make an America's Cup, and
there was barely enough puff to make the postponement flag flutter for the fifth time
in six days yesterday. However confident the organisers were about the race track
when they chose this Mediterranean city over Lisbon, Marseilles and Naples, the
record so far has been little short of dismal, with just one day's racing in the first week
of the Louis Vuitton challenger series....more.
