If they want to save the Americas Cup from oblivion, they need to go
back to racing 12 meters.


Yeah, did you read the wing has an engine with a hydra pump to trim
and torque the shape?. They should have to use grinders, power
nothing...either that or anything goes.

It was interesting that they provide more cash to the host city than
any other sport event except the olympics.
