Despite obvious progress since their last challenge three years ago with Southern Cross, Australian Real Estate Developer Alan Bond and his team have apparently not yet caught up with the Americans in the complex art of designing, outfitting and sailing the 12-meter thoroughbreds that now vie for the America's Cup.
