And here comes the challenge from One World! The American boat narrowly missed beating Alinghi yesterday due to a penalty for bumping it, and beat it soundly a couple of hours ago, after some exciting racing in light and fluky winds. 'Exciting' is relative. Both challengers (and the holder, of course) are (co-)skippered by Kiwis, crewed with a leavening of Kiwis, and two of the three are Kiwi designed. As an adopted Kiwi, I say, even if we lose, we lose to one of our own.
