Updated: August 21, 2010, 12:23 AM
The worst-kept secret in the America’s Cup is official: Alinghi of Switzerland will sail a giant catamaran when it defends the oldest trophy in international sports early next year against bitter U. S. rival BMW Oracle Racing.
The Swiss confirmed they will sail a twin-hulled boat that is 90 feet long on the waterline.
Alinghi and BMW Oracle Racing of San Francisco are scheduled to meet in a best-of-3 series in February in massive multihulls.
