[edit] Changes
I made a few changes to the 1988 section. Firstly, I changed the no time part to limited time. I'm not quite sure how long they had to answer the challenge in but they obviously had some time otherwise they couldn't have designed the 2 catamarans. Whether the time they had was insufficient time or just decided to be dickheads is always going to be debated so best to say limited time.
I also changed the part about design being unrestricted. Team NZ's argument in the court case was that there was design requirements/restrictions since a race between a catamaran and a big boat couldn't be called a match and the deed called for a match. The court eventually ruled in favour of SDYC but there is still great debate who was right. In cases like this, it's best to take the most neutral and factual answer. I think all sides agree that there was no explicit design requirements specified in the original deed so if we just stay this, there's no problem Nil Einne 16:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
