Have you been following things at Cowes. What a yachting spectacular! Lots of big boats and big bucks. The display of the wealth or whatever. Is this still a sport? Or is yachting really just a pastime where your make a hole in the water and try to fill it up with money? I guess that the origins of sailing as a sport were really just the pleasures of the idle and the rich. Has it changed today?
Interesting fact that the vintage NZ yacht "Ranger" amateur built in the mid 30's sailed the course quicker than the original America winner [by several hours??!!!].
