Re: Barnacle buster tool

Here's a novel idea- How about you don't let your bottom get so foul you are tempted to spend $400 on a hairbrained tool to clean it?

That is not the case. The winner gets to choose the venue and the boat design criteria. The winner does not get to rewrite the Deed of Gift, which is the ruling document for the America's Cup.
