Thread: Americas cup /louise vutton

Watch it on the TVNZ website in the mornings while having a coffee at work. Those things fly like a scorched cat. Actually they are pretty much are scorched cats. Good to see no Australians on the horizon.
A shame the legs are so short and the race over in 45min. Be hard to find a reasonably long course that is sheltered given the speeds they travel at

I enjoy watching those smaller ones they had in the build up AC45s I think. They just flew around the course. Some nice tight courses as well. Coutts is a master tactician on and off the water. His big boats may not be a winner but those smaller 45s have a larger following now and many more countries racing in them. I think there is a good future in the 45s.

But pity the races are over so quick lol. Imagine falling off at 47 knots, that's 87kmh. That would bruise for sure.

Cheers.
