Oh my! The old Js were soooo beautiful, and they're even more so with modern, perfectly trimmed sails.

If they ever get out of court, they might even race that thing. But the odds appear to be against it.

Looks like San Diego Fleet 7 is going to be neighbors with this big boy for a while. Think JimB can give them a run?


<b><center>BMW ORACLE Racing to sail in San Diego.
BMW ORACLE Racing will ship its 90-foot multihull yacht from Anacortes, WA, to San Diego, CA at the conclusion of the initial test session here later this month for a second sailing session with the new trimaran.

I think we saw the BMW/Oracle being towed while on our way back to Anacortes the last day of our recent cruise.

The photo doesn't do it justice. With the binoculars we could see the sheer size of it.
