Ed Baird showing up on the crew list not only as Helsman, but also Skipper is significant news.
Prada 2010 = ex-Alinghi
Can someone tell me what a Jolly Grinder is ?
ex Alinghi?? Don't think so, this is loyal Prada people coming back together. Good to see some of them have seen the light and left Oracle. They are happy to be out of there.
