The final race series starts at 11:30 tonight (i.e. tomorrow afternoon New Zealand time).
I've been fascinated by these boats : the technology, the speed, the skill it takes to sail these monsters - and the fact that they can go more that 3 times the speed of the wind that powers them!
They race on the 10th, and the 12th through the 17th of March (New Zealand afternoons), in a best-of-13 format. It's on NBC-SH. And - the America's Cup is the oldest sports trophy in the world that's still being competed for.
I grew up racing sailboats, so for me this is mandatory viewing.
Wondering if anyone else on PE has an interest in sailboat racing?
