It’s pretty dull isn’t it. Mind you I don’t think any yacht racing would be entertaining in 7 knots of wind.
Saw the last Americas Cup ..equally bland…..at least withpropersailingboats there was some beauty…..apparently speed is now all that is important.Maybe four racing at the same time would introduce a bit of frizzion😂

Note there has been a womans trophy and youth trophy added.

Can anyone point to any articles that describe the criteria for the boat design for the various Trophy classes.

What’s the almost constant grating noise you hear in the live feeds from the boats……….?

That extra breeze meant that they weren't constantly worrying about dropping off the foils, and could focus on racing tactics and boatspeed, and Britannia showed it's true potential for the first time.

It’s all on YouTube channel Louis Vuitton 37th Americas Cup Barcelona.
I'm watching on eurosport with an add -on sub to discovery plus on amazon prime
have to say to me these things are missiles not yachts and I much prefer the proper yachts seen sailing by in the background, but then I'm a miserable old fart
edited to add it is tnt sports not eurosport,sorry
