Americas Cup

[Olly]

Is there anyone else watching the Americas Cup? I have watched it most of my life and never seen racing like this. The catamarans have taken sailing to a whole new level. It's not sailing now - it's hydro-foiling and something else to watch. Wish I was in San Francisco.

Some purists will not like these hulls. I say BS! They are incredible!

They are seriously quick for Blow Boats

i have watched pieces of the race , the speeds they are reaching are incredible , i use to sail a Chrysler Buccaneer 18 , never came close to those speeds , the main sail appears to be a true wing similar to a airplane wing , sailing completely out of the water is very impressive....bob

The skipper of the winning boat has a strange accent - so do a lot of the crew I'm told B)

WHAT A COMEBACK!! caught some of the races early on & was amazed at what a 12 meter yacht had become. nothing like the prams, windmills, thistles & hobie cats i sailed as a youngun'. was incredible to watch, & can't believe team usa pulled it off.
