Alinghi Com Team has proven use before their comm qualities, but this time the sounds is just terrible, should they put some rock and roll on their tape, and would sound a bit better, this can't be the noise of their engine? should rather be the helicopter
bla bla bla....
Wasn't this supposed to be the fastest boat? I can swim faster than that.... boring.
"this can't be the noise of their engine? should rather be the helicopter"
Might be both. And which Rib was the one with the BMWO "Recon" Team on it? lol

Just wait until they sail it in stronger winds where the boat can live up to it's full potential.
to the 10:04 pm anon - you surely mean "Just wait until they sail it in stronger winds where the boat will fully desintegrate." LOL.
ha ha ha that last comment is brilliant!
Nice movie - i'd love to sail on this boat at some point. However, I wonder why the boat produces such an impressive wake at the stern. I am not a yacht design expert but would have somehow expected the stern wave to be much smoother. Are there any experts out there to comment on this?
Yes, but can they tack.
Excellent question... I neither have seen Alinghi nor BMW Oracle tack on any of the available movies. Maybe they can't?
