as much a design competition as sailing competition, where huge sums of money and resources are devoted to developing and building the racing vessels. \u00a0While the price and much of the technology are closely guarded secrets, the sport demands the\u00a0financial\u00a0backing of a sponsor like Larry Ellison, billionaire founder of Oracle, who owns the team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
