		<title>Ocean Rowing and the Multihull</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even with all the controversy surrounding this year&#8217;s 33rd America&#8217;s Cup, it was still not difficult to become sidetracked by the sheer coolness of the multihull sailing vessels involved in the race &#8211; Alinghi and BMW ORACLE. These multihulls evoke shock and awe when considering their speed, size and beauty. Team Northern Atlantic are hoping [...]]]></description>
