By design or default, there is no doubting that the intrigue and attention that Alinghi has attracted attention from media and sailing fans.
One forum topic on the subject of Alinghi’s design and building facilities has attracted more than 50 pages of speculation on the Sailing Anarchy website.
BMW Oracle Racing, by contrast attracted some attention (mostly photographic) during its initial building phase in Anacortes (USA) but has been reasonably open with many images on its website. However they are of the US Challenger’s first boat known as BOR90, and which is different from the USA named on their Notice of Challenge.
Whether BOR90 will morph into USA, or if USA will be a whole new boat, is still a matter of speculation…. Details, Drawings & PicturesÂ
