The author has tried to make the race sound as exciting as possible, but with only two competitors it all seems pointless to me, I'm afraid.

All that arguing, all those lawyers, for two **** days of the dullest sailing ever seen.

I agree totally, its not about sailing, sportsmanship, endurance or challenge.

I don't think boats doing 30 knots in 8 knots of breeze is boring. Still though, now thats all out of the way maybe it can go back to how it should be. A new ACC rule is needed, some sort of big, fast monohull, and back to match racing without court cases.

For what I am concerned they can largely f.. off!

This edition of the Cup was a joke.

I did not like Oracle and BMW as companies, and now, worse than not liking them I am totally indifferent.

Sport is won on the field, competing on equal grounds, not with courts and money.
