Key West, Done and Done!


So today is the last day of Key West Race Week, but a few boats are able to be on the trailer or on the delivery home. It will be interesting to see whether Alinghi decide to sail today or jet back to Dubia to sail thier AC boats. WOW what a choice eh?

So I was having a drink or two with Roger the other night and we got to talking about the Farr 40 class in KW. I starting thinking about how you have two of the AC owners sailing in that event as drivers and how the "ultimate" owner driver is not and has not ventured into that class.

Larry Ellison has always thought of himself as a great sailor and driver, shit there was talk that he was going to drive Oracle/BMW last time around.

So my question of the day is......Why does Larry not get himself a Farr 40 and go head to head with Ernesto and Vincenzo? Both of whom are Farr 40 World Champs. It would certainly be a heck of lot cheaper for him in the long run?

Hey Larry, maybe after you lose the Cup again this time you can finally see the light and try to beat Ernesto in the 40?
