The fight never ended at the Americas Cup but now near the start the things are going to get tough. Areva Challenge the French Syndicate has been penalized by the Jury having breached the Protocol receiving third party photos to Luna Rossa Challenge. So Areva Challenge will race with a 45 sails sets available against the 47 the boats usually had.
The History of America’s Cup is full of Spy Stories. Some a are a real unfair behavior other are part of the “game” of media. Spy Stories are part of the plot of this event where competition, business, technology and industry come close to be mixed by the wind blow and by the power of the sea.
This time the Jury opted for unfair competition.

with this post I’m back covering America’s cup stories. The new layout is finished and I’m working to enlarge the crew. (actually I’m the only webmaster, writer and Seo of this blog). to have a test I’ll invite you, reader to live a comment to this post, just to verify if is anybody out there.
Thank You for your kind collaboration.
I’m thinking about a poll. Following the events daily it is revealing very difficult and then there is also the good Orphanidis blog Valencia Sailing, so I thought it would be better to dedicate posts to go deeper in some topics like match racing tactics, boasts design, technology and business related to the Cup issues.
What do you think?
Leave please a comment and Thanks you all.
