The "DaSena Code"

[Updated 11 July 06]

This evening we are advised by ACM that they have adopted the following shorthand to refer to the twelve AC 32 teams during the upcoming Act 12 and going forward, including for TV graphics and similar:

CHN = China Team
ESP = Desafio Espanol
FRA = Areva Challenge
GER = United Internet Team Germany
NZL = Emirates Team New Zealand
USA = BMW ORACLE Racing
ITA/39 = +39
ITA/LR = Luna Rossa
ITA/MLC = Mascalzone Latino - Capitalia Team
RSA = Shosholoza
SUI = Alinghi
SWE = Victory Challenge



With apologies to Leonardo DaVinci -- and
Dan Brown.
