Attempts: Tri vs Cat across the Med

As I type this, Franck Cammas and his team aboard Groupama 3 are half-way across the Mediterranean on an attempt to break the north-to-south Mediterranean record (currently held by Bruno Peyron and the maxi-cat Orange II).
This attempt to beat the record held by a catamaran may be prophetic for the challenge facing Cammas in the coming America's Cup deed of gift match. If the rumors are correct Cammas, the multihull brains of the BMW Oracle Racing team will be facing a maxi-cat from the Alinghi team in their battle for the America's Cup...
Watch the Groupama 3 progress on their website.
