Never said "Team USA", but I'll give you that Oracle does know where to find the best crew mates, and I'm pretty sure they have the best boats, but we shall see.
I love this stuff, it's beyond high tech, now days they try to sail the entire course on the foils, if the hulls touch the water, that's bad.
TEAM NZ first time out video below . Word out of NZ is 20knts+ in under 8knts, EASILY. Pedal//leg power to keep the hydraulics up to speed. Seems obvious... now!
They should just make the America's Cup a silent auction.
Highest bidder wins the cup
A cup challenge is expensive, exclusive & not for everyone, pretty obvious what the teams are getting into from the outset. It's hard to get the win and just like that pommy convert called Bond who wrestled the cup to AUS in 83', when the underdog gets over those with a bigger mountain of cash it's a fantastic team achievement and a bloody good watch.
Agree the last cup was amazing, was lucky to be there to see those 72' beasts carve up the course. Astounding to see live. Is great that most of the teams are made up of ANZAC types and making a living leading an industry. Love the racing and the boats, bring on Bermuda.
