The new 90ft America's Cup Challenger, BMW Oracle Racing, had her first outing under full sail off Anacortes, today.

The winds were light, but some of the speeds being clocked by the newly launched trimaran are quite remarkable.

Today was the first opportunity to see the magnificent sail plan. The trial was conducted under just a main and jib - the extra is yet to be used.
