America's Cup Valencia

You are here: Home » America's Cup Valencia » 32nd America's Cup launches Circling Galaxy

Ever wonder about the people, places and event related to the America's Cup?

The official website launched today (11th April 2006) their amazingly easy to use "Circling Galaxy" which is a new way to explore information.

32nd America's Cup - Circling Galaxy

Your intrepid journalist soon managed to track down the connection between Cindy Crawford and the America's Cup and would have merrily spent a few hours navigating the galaxy (which brings out new information as you move further into it) if it weren't for the VT Editor looking sternly on from his office door!

It's a lot of fun and quite educational too - highly recommended.

You can find the America's Cup Circling Galaxy here: http://www.americascup.com/en/acclopaedia/circlinggalaxy/index.php

For those of you who get seasick, there's a more traditional search facility here: http://www.americascup.com/en/acclopaedia/circlinggalaxy/search.php
