While most of the court battle between the Alinghi and BMW Oracle America's Cup teams has dealt with dates and venues, and directly applies to few other than the Cup teams themselves, this latest legal dispute over powered systems at the Cup effects all racers and race fans, and hits at the very core of the sport.

USA - The BMW Oracle America's Cup boat has been getting a makeover over the last several weeks, responding to the new Cup rules which are, for the first time in history, allowing powered systems to be used aboard the Cup boats. While BOR 90 (aka: DOGzilla) may have looked like the most modern of sailboats, it had just a few pesky problems which would not allow it to compete on a level playing field with the Alinghi America's Cup boat - namely: Sailors.Franck Cammas : Lorsque j’ai commencé à naviguer sur Groupama 3, c’était très impressionnant.
