The '88 race was very litigated and one of the things that attracted me to race multihulls anyway. These boats will race, and on that day I will forget about all of this. Hey, both sides want a chance to win, and if they are throwing a ton of money into it, why shouldn't they try to have all of the bases covered? In my opinion, the courts are just another playing field for this particular competition, and it's fun to watch.
