I understand the fervor surrounding Ellison within the HN community, but there are far better aspects of the America's cup that we can focus on. 1) The design of the boats bringing engineering and physics to every TV set watching the Cup. 2) Computer modelling as the preeminent method of testing before models in wind tunnels. 3) The graphical representation of tactics during races on television. Sure we can talk about Ellison and Oracle with whatever tone pleases you the most, but the America's Cup is bigger than its sponsors.
