There are 9 new teams and 9 old ones.
If SNG/Alinghi prevails in court, and this version of the next America's Cup goes forward, this will become the first time an American team has not been involved in the 157 year history of the America's Cup. In other words, Alinghi wins; BMW/Oracle loses. Exit the only viable American Team previously in contention.
Meanwhile, the U.S. team headed by BMW/Oracle has launched, on their own initiative, a gorgeous new TRI-maran for a future America's Cup mano-o-mano Cup Challenge of some sort. The weak-kneed need not apply for work on this bare-bones platform. Helmots, goggles and kneed guards may be the norm, t'is said.
It all, again, comes down to the money. My lawyer's are better that yours. We win. We now race on the water. Yadda, yadda, ya-hooooo.
