America's Cup- Oracle Team USA's AC72 takes to the streets

by Richard Gladwell/Sail-World.com/nz on 29 Sep 2014 Oracle Team USA's winning AC72 takes to the streets of San Francisco, one year on from the Team's successful Defence of the America's Cup.

This week the AC72 catamaran Oracle Team USA raced to victory is going to be a special guest at Oracle OpenWorld 2014 in San Francisco. The racing yacht is being moved to Howard street, and then rebuilt for the Oracle showcase event.

Back in the early days of the AC72 rule, it was a requirement that the AC72's were to be capable of being dismantled with a tight time frame and prepared for shipping to venues outside the Match venue. Now that rule is being put to a different use!
