Nz had the first race in the bag. But it reached the time limit and was cancelled.
US won the second race.
More racing tomorrow!
Most sailboat owners hate the catamarans, they think there is no grace, no tacticsnicor wrote:Watched a few races, the boats are super cool, but admittedly I miss the tactics and crew work that comes with the mono hulls. I don't like the location too, It's a drag race to one side of the course. Bring back the 12s I say..
good job NZ
Best ever? Not even close. Television ratings for the event have been abysmal, how many challengers? Not many. Most watched? Yeah maybe from the shore but far from television viewings. Not even close to being the best.edt wrote:This is the best america's cup of all time, there is no question, most popular most watched, best for the sponsors best for the non-sailing audience, best for people on shore to watch -- being able to watch from shore not a priority in the sailing community.nicor wrote:Watched a few races, the boats are super cool, but admittedly I miss the tactics and crew work that comes with the mono hulls.

i think the best america's cup in the usa was 3 million viewers in the 1987 stars and stripes win on ESPN. This america's cup is scoring 1 million viewers which is incredible in the day of media diversity, and another 1 million ---> 1 out of every 4 kiwis is watching this on tv.Wiski23 wrote:Best ever?
