SF Bay Team Wins Round 1 of Pre-America’s Cup – Moet Regatta

US Challenger of record from San Francisco faced off with Alinghi of Switzerland on San Francisco Bay waters September 15th – 20th. Alinghi’s owner Ernesto Bartellini brought Russel Couts and Murray Jones, the Kiwi’s he formed his team around, plus his winning boats and crew to San Francisco to race against Oracle, the Challenger of record for the next America’s Cup sponsored by Golden Gate Yacht Club. In the "Moet Cup", Oracle fought hard and much to local relief won both the professional and owner/driver races, but only by one race each, making Saturday Sept. 20th a very exciting Day.

Dawn Riley was the blow by blow Announcer joined by an all-star team of co-hosts. International newsroom and OLN TV station all were based at GGYC.

The next pre-cup race will be in Newport RI and the rest will be in Europe. See our website or www.OracleBMWracing.com or www.Alinghi.com for more photo’s or info.
