Alinghi to Miss America’s Cup

Question

Can someone tell me that why Alinghi Missing America’s Cup?

Answer 1

Alinghi, which lost the America’s Cup to the United States team BMW Oracle Racing in February, will not try to win back the trophy in 2013, the spokesman Paco Latorre said. He said Alinghi’s Swiss syndicate would skip the 34th America’s Cup while focusing on a series raced in 40-foot catamarans. The next America’s Cup will be contested in a new class of 72-foot catamarans.
