Less is more in America's Cup rigging technology!!!

Alinghi opened the way and the Challenger of Record of the 32nd America's Cup followed suit.

A few weeks after sporting the first jumper-less mast in an America's Cup yacht, the Swiss America's Cup Defender has now company in Valencia.

BMW Oracle Racing have also a new jumper-less mast but unfortunately Valencia Sailing cannot provide the high-quality photos you have come to expect. I'm paying the price of being a Greek citizen, writing these lines from Barcelona's airport on my way to Athens in order to deal with what must be Europe's worst bureaucratic state.
