A fast catamaran and fair rules are coming to the America's Cup, profound changes that promise to bring the staid old regatta fully into the 21st century.
New champion BMW Oracle Racing of San Francisco and an Italian syndicate that represents challengers on Monday unveiled the AC72, a 72-foot catamaran with a wing sail that will be used in the 34th America's Cup in 2013.
The venue won't be decided until the end of the year. Whether the boats sail on San Francisco Bay, off Valencia, Spain, or near Rome, spectators can expect shorter, sharper and more spectacular racing.
