WideSpime for the 33rd America’s Cup with Green Comm Challenge!
Do you like sailing? Me too!
That’s why we are so excited that at the world’s premier sailing event, the 33rd America’s Cup we’ll have the chance to lend a hand and deploy the massive data collection capabilities of WideSpime with Green Comm Challenge. It is still a long road until the races*, but in the meantime, here’s the press release!
We feel that Green Comm’s adoption of WideSpime is very significant, since the environment, and the constraints under which these teams operate only admit the best!
We had some very good discussions with Francesco from Green Comm, and believe that we share not only the goals but also the passion for great performance, and outstanding results. We are very much looking forward to deploy WideSpime with him, and the partners in the challenge.
In the photo, left to right, David Orban, Francesco De Leo, Massimo Sgrelli, Leandro Agro, and Roberto Ostinelli. Massimo’s Wave Group recently established with Francesco, CEO of Green Comm, a new research center called Green Wave on the Garda Lake. Feels like we’ll have to hang out there too.
*[update] I was told that it would be worth giving a little more information here. As far as I understand the 33rd Cup was bound to be a race between Oracle the challenger, and Alinghi the defender. Green Comm wants to change this, and it is challenging the challenger. Some courts are involved, high flying drama, etc. Apparently it is part of the fun.

“Green Comm wants to change this, and it is challenging the challenger”
They have been turned down as their is no obligation of the Challenger under the Deed of Gift to consider other challengers.
Even if Green Com Challenge goes to court which they have not done & the sailing communtiy doubts they are willing to spend the money, GCC/CVG will loose in NYSC.
The Blue Arrow Challenge was the only other challanger in the history of The Cup to try to crash a Deed of Gift match. They went to the NYSC which told them they could not participate as the Deed does not allow for another challenger in a Deed of Gift match.
Hopefully the GCC/CVG program will be around for the AC 34 but it’s going to be quite a wait as after the more legal battles in NYSC are expected.
