Other than a lead-time issue, I'm surprised that they didn't get them with proper logos, or bare (no logos).
Losing the mark boats was definitely necessary. Not sure how widely reported this was, or how many of you remember this, but on one of the practice days in Newport, ETNZ was out of control, in traffic that wasn't well-controlled, on the way back to the harbor, and wiped out on one of the VIP (larger) mark boats. No one was hurt, but there was a good deal of damage to both boats.
