We’ve definitely lost something with these new style of boats. Don’t get me wrong, it’s exciting and the technology is amazing. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had a class dedicated to these boats, still modern just classic.

I think this is so much more classic helmsman ship and sure grit sailing then what does occurring today

Living the 80s as a teen I sure didnt think it would be the best decade in History, lol.

Nice seeing history of AC!
Why blady aussies since winning later,since decades no more having a team?
Kiwis anyways forever but aussies should be able getting a team build up?

CLASSIC

[@chrisobrien5103]

Two questions/observations watching this-noting hindsite and blimp views are always 20/20 :-)
1/ In tacking duels, the boats often tack when still leeward even when on starboard tack when they could cross and gas the boat behind-(?shifts)
2/ Always wondered why Kookaburo didn't try to better gas Stars and Stripes on the downward legs by going a bit windward and blanketing them vs trying to rely on boat speed and catch them.
Clearly, crappy old boat dinghy sailing is a different game 🙂

Thanks, for posting the race. Announcers got excited at the start that Australia got the slight lead. Stars and Stripes: hold my jib.

[@Silvius.2]

This history races was great also, 3 hours of racing and great watching.
Today's AC are blady interesting also! Mutch faster and different.
AC from 80is today its no more and that's good!
Sailing evolution

Sails can make a huge difference. People don't give sailmakers the credit they deserve! You can see a big difference, between the two. One thing you can't practice for, is the spectator fleet wake. Racing in confused seas is no joke.

Wonderful sailing! Please upload 1995 if possible - I would love to watch that the whole way through.
