This is no family sedan taken to the races. This is a real racer. They are finally taking all out technology to the America's Cup. Enjoy.

Nothing short of AMAZING

What I wouldn't give to get a ride on that sucker!!!!

Cool !!!! I'm thinking they need a longer course this time, else the races will be over in about 30 minutes. I can't wait to see the mayhem at the start line with these beasts. (Tri-hull vs. Cat) Wondering if there will be any tactics employed... as in.. can these boats turn? Nah... they're just going to dial in the speed and drag race to each mark. Also wondering if they'll perform in heavy weather? Remember the Aussie boat in San Diego?

Wind limit of 15 knots and a wave height limit is being tryed FOR

Read the NOR. No more than 15knots of breeze and 1 meter seas, 20 miles legs w/l for the first race. 13 mile legs for triangle in the second race and back to 20 mile w/l for the 3rd race if needed. Best 2 out of 3. 4 boat length circle at the marks.
