Don't like the Rules? Start your own Competition!

Presented without further comment:

"Oracle CTO Larry Ellison is reportedly launching his own world boat racing title – just months after his team was spanked at this year’s America’s Cup.
According to yachting commentator Rob Mundle, Ellison is planning a world series with events held across the world.In a report on his website based on what he described as "reliable sources", Mundle said teams from the USA, Sweden, Japan and France are now "committed to the event"."


You can yacht be serious: Larry might be planning his own version of America’s Cup • The Register

Somewhat biased article......
obviously spurned on by a couple of nerdy billionaire's corporate pi$$ing contest.

LV Group will love being involved in this type of sponsorship as it involves their primary market.

Hope it happens[emoji106]
