I'm referring to the America's Cup boat NZL-82 which in the 2003 Cup began taking in lots and lots of water on the aft deck. Check out this picture: http://www.sailinganarchy.com/rumors/images/2003/AC/tnz_water.jpg It's from http://www.sailinganarchy.com/rumors/acdope2003_archive.htm where you can read more about NZL 82. I haven't seen these patches used since on Disco IOMs, so maybe they were not that successful after all? Or maybe the Disco design was altered slightly? Perhaps a current Disco owner could comment?
