Is Oracle’s win in danger? 3News reports that ETNZ is preparing a legal challenge to Oracle’s win based on their electronic stability system.
At the same time, Facebook gossipmonger and NZ radio personality Paul Veitchy reports:
There’s some serious rumours coming out of San Fran that something big is going to come out around Oracle and the pre regatta penalty.. and the improvements made to the boat. The rumour mill is in over drive.. watch this space…. bloody interesting talking to several parties this avo about it…
We also saw this from another source: The yanks put a computer on board after they were down 8 – 1, and should not have been allowed to make this change mid series. So I said why didn’t the Kiwis put one on too, and he said they didn’t have the fun tickets. This computer came out of Boeing, and is the latest in technology, and this made the difference to their boat speed, foil angles and all that other shit that navigators used to wank away about, and was implemented automatically on board, where as the poor cousin Kiwis still had to do all theirs manually. So there you go this is what the press is saying in NZ, but don’t know how true all of this is. Could be sour grapes…
Watch Veitchy’s space to see if this is real or yet more hit counting. If your Oracle Team USA contract just ran out and you’re looking to unload, post your inside knowledge in the thread.
