Small world! I head up the IT systems at Alinghi Red Bull Racing. Agree with your final paragraph that it is extremely close to F1 in terms of engineering bits. Good fun!

Unreal, Alinghi's got the claim for the last cup win with an American Skipper and the last win in a "true" monohull. Win it back and get Ed into the IACC again! I know he's itching for it, he still matches J/70s in Tampa Bay and Dragonforce Model Yachts in his backyard.

Hope you the best and any if there's chance you need a hand in Barcelona, I'd drop everything for a shot to work on a campaign.

Didn't Newey get his America Cup fix as part of his contract at Red Bull ?
Always wanted to say hi.
