Keel yacht
For the America’s Cup faithful, with waves of disappointment crashing over the bow, a light hearted moment can help to ease the pain of time. This comes, unsolicited, from Bi Bof: Ahead of the Supreme Court's decision to be released on January 14 and following the typo "keel Yacht" in their challenge filed in July 2007, Oracle will be forced by the New York judge to race with a 90 x 90 feet "keel Yacht"
As Oracle's got unlimited budget, they already secretly launched a first boat (see photo) and sources are reporting that they are expected to launch their second one within the next few days to begin their long testing campaign.
Note that this "keel yacht" is still not quite as wide as described in their Notice of Challenge to make it ‘valid’.... but it is getting closer. It is not known if Russell Coutts was on board for the maiden voyage of Oracle's latest weapon.

OK, guys, let's see you roll-tack THAT baby !
I think perhaps to roll-tack such a vessel would take someone of, say, Brad's stature ...
