...team from New Zealand and 17% from Europe. OneWorld Challenge, representing the Seattle Yacht Club, is flying seven national flags at its team base. Swiss Alinghi and Italian Prada include sailors from Australasia and all over Europe. "The challenge within the challenge," says Prada's general manager, Giacomo Ovidi, "is that people of different nationalities can work as a team and achieve great results." If Alinghi wins the Cup, it could stage the next event in Italy, France or Spain - anywhere with the right winds and the proper facilities, says team executive director Michel Bonnefous.
