Those things f'n fly! Just got word Team New Zealand has already sailed their boat home...
Pretty sure there will some drinking and debauchery on the docks tonight. Wish I was there. So glad it will stay in SF for another series. That is about as perfect a venue for this as you could imagine.

As a non-partisan I just wanted to watch great sailing. When my boy Ben Ainslie stepped on board though I guess I became a little biased towards USA17.
The better (and faster) boat won and I for one am super stoked for them. However I would have liked to have seen the evolution of the Cup had NZ taken it.
Coutts was apparently quoted as saying they want to do something about the cost and have as many as 12 challengers next time around. With the frenzy this cup has caused I like to think that sponsors might be more attracted to such an incredible spectacle.
Bring on AC35. Thanks god we have a VOR to watch in the mean time.

Here is highlights from the last race:

After having lived in NZ and hearing the ex GF's friends and family babble endlessly about the superiority of all things NZ sailing I most enjoyed the outcome of the Cup.

Full race is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHdmviq1kyg it is most if not all of yesterday's coverage and runs for two and a half hours but the racing is in the first 40 minutes or so.
Edit Tye1on posted it while I was watching the other link.

But he also gave us shot tracking for golf, so we'll call it a draw.

3rd... Great article.
Amazing how the technology is pushed by these events... Both boats and the video. Still can't believe the comeback, but now I'm wondering if Honey's software manipulated the boats and water... taking control of space and time?Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!
