849771 2010-01-19 01:22:00 I need to get up to speed and internet and wiki seems confusing to dig thru on this.

Since Alinghi won Americas CUp in 2007 what has the progress been so far as to the next americas cup challenge regatta ?

From what i hear Alinghi and BMW Oracle will face off for the title is this true ?

I thought there was alike a challenegers regatta where everyone competed and then the winner goes on to challenge the defender . Just like it happened in 2007


Is this not the case anymore?

If someone can tell me the current cup format and timeline and whos playing who and where Team NZ stands in all this...etc that would be great

Thanks

849773 2010-01-19 03:32:00 The 2010 America's Cup has reverted to a match more like the early days of the cup with two wealthy and powerful players competing. The match is scheduled to be sailed in spectacularly expensive and exotic 90 ft multihull yachts in a one on one, best of three race regatta in Valencia, Spain in February, 2010.

849776 2010-01-19 06:14:00 I think NZ should start a series for a NZ Cup using AC type of boats and based on the AC format without the court battles.
