Man... when I was a little kid, I had a huge thing for sailboat racing and America's Cup. But that was like 20 years ago... I'm surprised they decided to open up the rules so much. People were bitching that it cost too much 20 years ago just to develop a hull shape... now the rules are so open, it's going to cost several fortunes over to build a winning racer! Tri's with massive wingfoils are cool from a technology standpoint, but it feels like F1 in the 90's... it's just a technology demo... the spirit of racing seems to get swallowed up by the gizmos.
