Coutts & multihulls

...from another forum..

Elaine Bunting has a bit more on the "Cat Fight" that could happen
between Alinghi and BMW Oracle next year:

Apparently Coutts has been speaking to Cammas, who's one of the best
trimaran sailors around.

I mentioned this to a well connected friend in Brittany, and he said:

It came up on the local newspaper 2 days ago under a serious journalist
signature, if you add up that Cammas's girl friend is also a journalist in
the same newspaper, you can take it pretty seriously.

It makes me think that the threat of a 2008 race is more serious than
we've been led to believe.

17 knots in 8 knot wind

A recent new thread on the '90 x 90 Race Multihull' has prompted me to look back at a few clippings I found on the 1988 race
