According to the Scuttlebutt of the day GBR Challenge has signed a Design Software Technology Partnership with UGS PLM Solutions.

UGS PLM will also be the exclusive provider of product lifecycle management products and services to provide planning and race configuration data for the British-based team.

This "exclusive deal" is a little bit surprising considering that EDS announced in July that "K-Challenge will use its software solutions to design and develop its watercraft to meet its aggressive competitive goals".
