AMERICA’S CUP 2010: USA WINS WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
he BMW Oracle Racing organization won the 33rd America’s Cup yacht race in
Valencia, Spain on February 18, 2010. The BMW Oracle boat USA, backed by software
billionaire Larry Ellison, beat Alinghi, the Swiss boat backed by Ernesto Bertarelli, a
Swiss billionaire. It’s always a spectacle when two billionaires go head to head for the
prize. Lots and lots of money, world-class talent, and in this case, the best technologies and
information systems in the world. In the end, the 114-foot USA won handily the first two races
of a best-of-three series, reaching speeds over 35 miles an hour, three times faster than the
wind. As far as experts can figure, USA is the fastest sailboat in history.
