I can't wait to see the AC73's..

Blow-boat racing is now going to look like NASCAR,, with the wrecks...

My name-sake 48 as an example..

One of the few sports I like to watch - the Louis Vuitton & America's Cup races.

I was sad to see the fight over boat styles that came in the late 80s and 90s.

I liked the grace of the mono hulls and the skill required to get the most out of them.

But - something lost - something gained. I like that the style/class rules are set for the next series of races.

I'll be watching.
