Spain mount more things than my dog 😂

Alan Bond....criminal fraudster, faker of brain injury, and all 'round good guy. LOL

the most boring racing in the history of america's cup

I kinda see two separate parts here. Jumping on a camera boat to pick a fight or crashing into another boat intentionally or carelessly is bad sportsmanship. Playing the numbers or rules and figuring out how to beat 'the guy' you need to beat is strategy. If strategic were off limits, it would just be a drag race...

The worst America's Cup ever....luckily we moved on

Michael Fay was pretty arrogant from the outset... To expect to head to the opposite side of the world, ambush the San Diego YC with terms that NZ had one-sidedly crafted, set a race deadline 12 months after the defender had just won The Cup... They had it comin'!!

It's just a continuation of its history i.e mired in controversy & under handed tactics

It all got a bit silly in 1988. Never liked Dennis Connor but the Kiwis had only themselves to blame for trying to be too clever.

Dennis Conner, the biggest idiot in sailing history. That "young america" switch really worked out well. Played the wounded yankie, switched boats and got it up where the sun don't shine 😂

2 different class boats in the same race dumb from the start

Of course the Americans tried to cancel the racing...They are the only country in the world that has a "World" series and only has American competitors...Americas cup, Drag racing. American football etc etc...

And Americans still use lawfare to cheat until this day, i look forward to the day the Cup goes home through innovation and hard work

Most accomplished experts in their chosen fields have a considerable modicum of humility and grace so the question must be asked why is Ben Ainslie 'not a nice person' ? He is intense, highly driven, ruthless in his pursuit of his success and this leads people viewing Sir Ben Ainslie as "not nice," especially when his competitive nature comes across as abrasive or overly aggressive. As for me I'd trade all the trappings of success in any sport in order to maintain being a nice person. 1000 other successful world champions give testament to the fact that being a champion and a nice person are possible. Ben will eventually figure it out.

Ein sehr unsympathischer Segler.

Legendary boats and race

Everyone loves a bad boy...

When I see what Fay did... I feel better about Chappell's under arm.

I saw the hull of the Ausi boat and realized they were going to sail with a boat that had winged keel which was counter to the rules so in my opinion they cheated!

Starting with the very first race in 1851, competitors have been shaving the rules. America's victory in that first race was met with controversy because her owners did scandalous things like leave out the wine cellar, and china cupboards.

I love the idea what cat sailor is somehow responsible for the wake of motor boats....

Whinging Pom.

Sorry, but that Cup was won in court and not in the water... The regatta was total bonkers and Oracle completely disfigured the event, needing the Kiwis to win it in bermuda and bring back some decency... Winning the cup in this way was just a rich man's caprice, no care for the sport, the event or its future, just him and his egoistic desire. Oracle was no match in a fair event, lost 5-2 to Luna Rossa in the LV cup finals in Valencia 2007. All Larry can do well is pay lawyers

Always hard for you guys to mention the French naval architects who made the job , joubert nivelt for stars and stripes and vplp for oracle ??? not a word ???

the problem is (when you look at the results) he has moved to a bigger pool and he is just not cutting it, Slingsby, Outtridge and Spithill and Burling are handing his arse to him on a plate.

The Americans cheating / avoiding a fair race at every opportunity. What a shock!?!

Got up in the early morning to watch the final race. Living in Coffs Harbour NSW. Took my wife for a good lunch then was told by the boss to b-off for the afternoon. So down to the yacht club. I was pretty late arriving but what an afternoon/evening.

Not a gentleman. But these things happen when people make a career from their sport, they have to win no matter what. Get yourself a decent profession and stay amateur, you‘ll have much nicer weekends with your comrades.

Better sailing on the day won ,,and Team America ran out of cheat codes.

It’s a sad day when puffy faced private school boys play sport in the courts.

people with too much time and money

The first America's Cup was presented in 1851, attended by Queen Victoria.... it was won by a yacht named AMERICA. Would it be fair to run the New Zealand boat against that one? Not even. The squacking smacks of hurt feelings. If you want to win either get the rules changed or build a faster boat. Bunch of rich guys fighting over who has the bigger d**k....

The 3 times New Zealand have caused permanent damage to America's Cup: 1. Faye's stupid ambush stunt in 1987 2. Removing nationality requirements, allowing a landlocked country to win the AC 3. Changing the formula to the foiling monohulls, which are both hideously ugly and always result in terrible racing NZ is by far the worst thing to ever happen to the cup.

They both seem like entitled assholes

Americans poor winners, poor losers.

so much damage with deep diving

I find this more enjoyable to watch than these computerized racing machines flying on foils.

An egocentric pig ?

Ainsley is overrated. He exhibits terrible sportsmanship and arrogance when beaten fairly and squarely. As head of Ineos competing for the Americas cup the Brit’s have been off the pace for over a decade. And then has the gall to say the kiwi sailer Burling is arrogant. Someone who has won the Americas cup twice.

I went to school with a guy called Sean. His Father had salvaged one of the Ragamuffins that got wrecked on a reef near Fiji (I think). That boat was my first experience of sailing out of the heads of Sydney Harbour. Epic memories.

Wayyyy too many ads on this jfc

When Australia took the cup off the Americans that was it . After that it became a real shit fight and it would never be the same again in all its glory. To see all these old fellows from the New York Yacht Club in tears as the cup was thrown around by Bondi and the crew was precious and it would never be the same again.

Did i hear the voice of Peter Montgomery doing the commentary on this vid. He was a legend.

I followed this race from Sweden and I remember it very well. I'm a sailor and I love sailing.

I was in San Diego for this Cup. The Kiwis had their lawyers pour over the original Deed of Gift for the America's Cup to find where the boats were limited to 12 meter-class boats, and couldn't find anything stating that. The only stipulation was that the boats couldn't be more than 90 feet (27 meters) at the waterline. They also couldn't find anything that prohibited issuing a challenge every year. Their 90 foot challenger they were planning to use would allow a much taller mast than a 12 meter-class could mount, and therefore the sails could be much larger - catching a lot more wind to move the boat. Team Stars and Stripes - figuring turn-about was fair play - noted that the Deed of Gift ALSO didn't specify the boats had to be a single hull. Their resulting design was a catamaran with no more than 45 feet of waterline per hull. The Kiwis cried "FOUL!" because everyone knew a catamaran would slice through the water faster than a mono-hull could.

I remember this day well. My family all got up early to watch the race. I was told by my sister that we were losing. Then a bit later I heard them in the living room getting that bit louder and being very tense. And then there was this almighty yelling and screaming and we'd won. I got up after that. Still had to go to bloody school that day though. Yeah you had to give the Americans and Dennis Connor their dues though, got very close in a boat that was almost there. To be honest I think it was the crew training the Australians had under their belt by that time that was at least 50% of the win. The Americans were a very good crew, and so were the Australians.

The NYC Yacht Club’s arrogance is what set the groundwork for America’s complacency! Great for the Aussies, bad for Newport!🥲

The race that killed 12m.

I em9igrated to Australia from UK in 1981 and when the race was won, I felt like I was an Australian.....oh what a feeling........it's now 40 years since the race but I still call Australia home.

Fay, the ultimate douche bag.

You really have to give Dennis and his crew credit that they took a best of 7 against a much better boat to race 7.
