Team Seacats

“With Larry, we will duel with two beautiful monsters. And whoever spends the most money will win.”  Says Mr. Bertarelli in a recent interview on Sail Juice Blog. This response, I would presume, is directed to Ellison’s statement earlier this week where he says “we have heard Ernesto’s vision; but what we really need is his decision”. Ernesto makes an effort to defend his position for a complete overhaul of the cup but I think he is foolish and arrogant (he said that I would say that…though I dispute that I am a conservative). Note that Bertarelli’s team has allegedly lost their sponsor for AC33 so the defense currently comes directly out of his pocket. However, don’t think for a minute that Bertarelli is stupid; He’s been racing multihulls on Lake Geneva for a long time and has a lot of experience with them and if you buy into his statement that they “have yet to commit to a specialist mutihull design team”, it is my opinion that you might be the foolish one.
