Well CONGRATULATIONS TO THE KIWI'S!!

America's cup sail boat racing winners..... Very exciting and they did a masterful job!!  I wish they had lost one more race so there would be more to watch, but they did such a great job....   Now we have to wait another 4 years for the next one....  Hope I am around to watch it....  The boats are incredible.  They have developed, from the days I started watching, from like the old biplanes to supersonic jets... I have loved every minute of it...

I love sailboats and sailboat racing, but the foiling boats bear little resemblance to sailboats and are really not feasable for ordinary people. I like to race and did for many years in San Francisco bay. And when there was a womens team in the race for challenger it was really exciting. But the new generation of boats and equiptment has taken something away from the sport.

Congrats to the Kiwi's.  A few years ago I was able to sail on an older America's Cup boat.  We did a "race". It was so exciting to be sailing on the ocean... and even more exciting that our boat True North 4 won!!  And then I got to be at the helm.

I dislike the "match" racing format.  I would rather see all contenders every time they race.  Just my opinion.  I have raced 110's (old), 505's (a little newer) and 470's in large fleet races.  Have also raced with a C&C 30 which was "almost" as exciting.  The foilers are cool but I agree, sailing is in a mono hull!    Russ

Congrats to the Kiwis indeed. 

I find the current evolving of the Americas boats something like Formula 1 racing. They seem to be advancing technology as fast as they can simply because they can. That's why I kinda prefer NASCAR over F1, it's mostly basic racing where it's more the driver than technology, and the cars cost about what F1 pays for the bloody steering wheel!!:)
