Jimmy Spithill interview Part 1

Wait.... There's going to be another 72? As in a third? Or is this from before the second one hit the water, it doesn't really sound that way though.

Jesus, it must be awesome being Larry.

I lost a little track of things to ... but I'm pretty sure the 72 they are sailing currently is the first boat's hulls and cross beams put back together with a new wing. So, it's technically still the "first" boat.

I know the teams were limited, by rule, to two boats - so there shouldn't be a third.

This is correct. This is boat v1.b

v1.a went swimming under the golden gate.

Ah. Still good to have a primary sponsor with bottomless pockets. I'll paint my Viper black and slap an Oracle sticker on it for a mil a year. Seems fair....

I look out the window and see his island every day.
