America's Cup chooses Fountaine Pajot

T+2 days: The America's cup committee again choose the Fountaine Pajot Cumberland 46 power catamaran. At this year's controversial event held in Valencia Spain, several Fountaine Pajot power catamarans, are sailing between the two most exceptional multihulls of the world: The US challenger, the 90' BMW ORACLE trimaran and the Swiss defender, the 90' ALINGHI catamaran. These 2 yachts are extensions of egos for 2 billionaires. On one hand we say "Bravo"- for putting their money into creating the most awesome sailing machines - yet "Shame on them" - for dragging this once illustrious event through courtrooms and embarrassing the sailing community and millions of fans.
