The Louis Vuitton Cup is a series of match races that lead up to the America’s Cup.  So what do you get when you send a team that has an unlimited supply of money, all the experience that money can buy, a venue that’s made for sailing, and arguably the fastest boat on the water? 

You get a bunch of losers.  There won’t be an America in the America’s Cup this year– BMW Oracle, the USA’s entry, got eliminated by the Italians today.
