I started watching the "America's Cup" almost forty years ago. I have never been a sailor, or been to sea! But for some reason I have an affinity for old time Sailing Ships, Schooners, Pirate Ships.....Etc..... in others words, Sailing the old fashioned way! that is why I loved watching the "America's Cup" .........before technology took over instead of being a sailing aid! Under the current format the AC is more 1/4 mile drag racing than sailing vessel seamanship!
Not that the "foil" racing isn't interesting, it is! In fact fun to watch! However, the "America's Cup" is about "Sailing" and "Seamanship"....not "Drag Racing"!
