The little O'pen Bic made a big show during the “Hall of Fame” dinner of the 32nd America’s Cup, which took place at the “Hemispheric” of the City of Arts & Sciences in Valencia during the America’s Cup final. Ten young sailors from the Valencia Sailing Federation sailed O’pen BIC boats representing each of the participating countries in the Cup.  Fourteen people were rescued from the 55ft race boat Bounder when her keel reportedly fell off two and half miles south of St Catherine's Point off the Isle of Wight June 30, 2007. The crew were airlifted off safely and taken to Lee on Solent. None was hospitalized. The new yacht designed by Juan Kouyoumdian and owned by Chris Little, recently came third in class in the JP Morgan Round the Island Race and was lining up for a big season on the grand prix circuit. -- David Glenn, Yachting World.
