2007 America's Cup - Oracle BMW Racing On San Francisco Bay

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 4, 2003)- We were invited to join Oracle BMW Racing while they practiced on The Bay. Our San Francisco correspondent Chuck Lantz was there to capture the day in images. The teams were in top form with an "A" and "B" team boat. Among the participants were Owner Larry Elison, Chris Dickson, Gavin Brady and newly recruited John Kosteki.

In what was a common event when the syndicates were based in Auckland, the Alinghi Team crews came around for a look at the competition. The two syndicates will face off in the Moet Cup slated for September 15-20 in San Francisco.
