But we see only a few seconds of the wing. Can you show us more of it please, Pierre.

To 11:40 AM anon,

at least if they loose now and then no one can claim that the judges or race committee is bought by Mr. Ellison

Awesome seeing BMWOracle with the wingsail. I am looking forward for Alinghi and BMWOracle to finally meet on the water. This will be a really exciting contest! However, I am afraid that Alinghi will now try to DSQ BMWOracle because it is not a "sloop"...

What changes have affected it's classification as a sloop? Its still a single rig.

all they have to do is raise a headsail and that should qualify DoGzilla as a sloop. The wing is only a single step, ie it's single-masted.

You better believe that SNG will challenge this puppy until they can get their wing up and refined. I know they are claiming to not have a wing, but why would they have hired Duncan McClane (sp?) otherwise.

It truly is an amazing piece of technology but the team's sailors in Nice are complete douchebags.

Doesn't matter - 3rd day of sailing and they already broke it. Don't know how serious it is... but sure to be out of commission for a bit.
