Mission accomplished for HDS: Victory on the 33rd America’s Cup with BMW ORACLE Racing
Sábado, Marzo 20th, 2010
On February 14th, 2010 in Valencia, the black trimaran of the American Challenger, BMW ORACLE Racing, equipped with a wing of 68 meters, beat the catamaran of the Swiss Defender, Alinghi, to win the 33rd America’s Cup Match.
