BMW Oracle Racing's talk in Valencia's yacht club
Posted on 04/06/2008
The two men from America’s Cup Challenger of Record BMW Oracle talked to an audience of around 40 people on the America’s Cup for about an hour and a half, touching almost all aspects of the world’s oldest sports competition, ranging from its history to the most recent legal issues and the current state of affairs of their own team.
It was initially planned to be a ‘private’ talk, restricted to the yacht club’s members but finally the media were allowed, a fact that in my view definitely altered the issues, tone and philosophy of the presentation. It suffices to say that around 25 minutes into the show, the crew of Valencia’s main TV station was asked to turn off the cameras and take them out of the room.
