With the lack of Mutual Consent in the current edition of the America's Cup between Alinghi and BMW Oracle Racing, there are no rules regarding espionage activities between teams, or indeed what the public can see.

Sail-World is happy to run legally obtained images of either BMW Oracle Racing or Alinghi. Please send all material to nzeditor@sail-world.com or email us with a website URL. Please also let us know whether or not you are happy to be identified as the photographer. We will also include a link to your website if you wish.

Some of these shots have come from the Alinghi Team themselves off chaseboats, others from 'unofficial' sources.

Enjoy!
