Wow, are you guys optimistic! There are no mono sailors involved in the AC that are "embracing" or arguably, accepting, that cats are the way to go, either for, or after this event.

They're dealing with it as a matter of the deed challenge, which is a result of the fact that Alinghi and Oracle can't get together in a room and behave like adults for the benefit of all the other countries involved.

As mono sailors, they will look back at this like another black eye in the history of the AC.
