I really like the look of this boat. I'm an architect in my day job and design is everything. I think a large part of it, is how the boat looks, it's interesting that they are using a cat this year. I can't wait to see the race, only wish I could be there in person. It's exciting that it will be covered by NBC on July 1st. Won't miss out on that.

I agree it's a neat boat. You definitely need to checkout some of the race videos on the the America's Cup site http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCC42D52F10BA8635&feature=plcp. It's pretty cool how they've overlayed laylines, starting line etc. They even have real sailors commenting. The funny thing top me was that with such high-tech boats they still use sheets (which get tangled on occasion!).
