Louis Vitton cup first race on Sunday, live on youtube

[BlueChip]

Sunday's opening race will air on www.youtube.com/americascup starting at 20.00 BST
Should be exciting to see the first two AC Cup boats in action.

Except that, apparently, Luna Rossa has withdrawn, leaving NZ to sail the course alone. Yeah, really exciting.

Anyone know if any of its going to be on the telly? An obscure sky sports channel or summat?

Doubt it - Eurosport were stung so badly last time that they won't touch it with a barge pole (hours of boring footage of the wrong type of wind).

They've also upped the fee by about 8 times.

Fantastic footage, great win by kiwis, can't help feeling something was missing...

I can't believe that haven't sorted out the protest from Luna Rossa/ETNZ, which seems to be based on very good grounds. What a complete farce this AC is already...

I wasn't planning to watch it so at is so boring, I therefore didn't know when it was on.

Now that you have told me I shall have to adopt plan "B", that is to deliberately avoid watching it as it is so boring.

I am sure it is great fun to take part, but a spectator sport it is not.
