Can anyone tell me all of the boats that will be participating in the Louis Vuitton cup? I know most of them, but then there were a few I thought were supposed to be in it and aren''t. Thanks. -SAILBOATSHARK

I''m sorry! I actually found all of the challengers. So now my question is: Are the Aussie''s not competing this year?? That would be really odd to not see them in the Challenger series. I know who I am rooting for since I have been big fans of them for a long time, but I will keep that to myself ;-)! Thanks again! -SAILBOATSHARK

Ahoy Aussie lover, Why go play in the sand box with the other kids when your at the head of the class? How can a defender be a challenger? I know being upside down all your life had some effect but gosh did ye mamma drop ye on the head? Big Red 56 the Pirate of Pine Island.

BigRed56 ! The Aussies were defenders of the Americas Cup only once (at Fremantle).The current defenders (for the second time)are New Zealand
