odd Audi sighting

[Zsolt]

I am not sure what kind of sail boat you saw, and I am not very
knowledgeable about sail boats, but there was a small article in the
December 2001 issue of Audi Magazine called "A New Class" about a
sailboat featuring the Audi logos.

It's called the Streamline and they are planing on racing it in the 2004
Olympics. I can scan and email the article if anyone is interested.
There is a nice picture showing the boats with the Audi rings on the
sails and the nose of the boat.

Cheers,
  Zsolt
