Scrathed or unscratched, New Zealand uses black to get their Americas Cup 
yachts top go FASTER. It has worked so far and it looks as if some others 
are trying the same trick. This year's preliminary results will be out in a 
month or two and the final "crunch" comes early next year. If the final 
opposition is PRADA like last time it will be grey versus black.

And I always though red boats were faster......
