They're off! Oracle favoured to win - the word mismatch was used by the commentators. Edit.... The French nuclear-powered Le Defi Areva to line up against Swedish Victory Challenge "Orn" or "Orm" soon. Pre-start manouevering now on.... 5 minute call gone... Edit2, they're off... Mq

OneWorld in the lead over Alinghi [which was pretty much the favourite]. Looks like it might be NZ vs OneWorld. That's a good match. [Prejudging based on almost nothing]. OneWorld financed by Craig McCaw, Paul Allen, Nextel, SAIC [the old firm]. Of course I favour New Zealand = Telecom/CDMA [= QUALCOMM] vs Nextel [which operates enemy technology though they've signed up with QUALCOMM for an exclusive deal on Q-Chat qualcomm.com in the USA] qualcomm.com Stars and Stripes well ahead of Prada. Looks as though it's going to be Larry Ellison [Oracle], Dennis Connor [Stars and Stripes], Craig McCaw/Paul Allen/SAIC/Nextel [OneWorld] vs Team New Zealand. That is, USA vs New Zealand. 6 boats, mountains of money and swarms of people vs 2 boats and Tom Schnackenberg library.ubc.ca herreshoff.org He cut off the moustache a while ago... Mqurice
